This is what you call a superb split-CD. Synapscape opens this album with seven typical tracks and Asche finishes it off with six songs. With ‘What Are You Doing To Whitenoise, Baby?’ Synapscape starts energetic. It’s a threatening song that slowly comes to an eruption. Especially the shouting, distorted voice reminds a bit of Aphex Twin (‘Come To Daddy’). ‘Got Up’ is somewhat more chaotic while the following ‘Scrambling Daylight’ sounds more accessible. Striking songs are the moody instrumental ‘Karambolage’ and the harsh and brutal singing ‘Racer X’.
Asche proves, once again, to be a master in producing of sinister voices with stirred up beats. ‘Babylon (Chaos)’ is a nice first track, so threatening that the repeating of patterns works hypnotising. The heavy pounding ‘Petunia’, with help from This Morn’ Omina’ will do wonders on the dance floor. The slow dark ‘Made My Day (V3)’ is a sinister resting point only to be scared shitless with the heavy, but not so succeeded, ‘Killers’ (with the voice of Bush). The ‘2
nd Scrape (Version)’ will undoubtedly result in packed dance floors, it’s the question though how people will react on the quiet end of the song. The ‘Falling To The Ground (Petunia RMX)’ of Moctan doesn’t share this problem, because its upbeat until the end (although the original sounds better). It’s a nice end of a successful initiative.
