BALLARD by KAMIKAZE SPACE PROGRAMME

This music won't disappoint anyone who still looks to techno as the music of new ideas.The track titles on Kamikaze Space Programme's latest offering for Mote-Evolver are taken from the chilling techno-criticism and dystopian visions of the late J.G. Ballard's fiction, a thinker whose work has always lent itself well to music on the razor's edge of modernity. Keep in mind, though, that this is no simple tribute to that mastermind of speculative fiction, but a translation of his highwire suspense and hyper-modern aesthetics into rhythmic and incisive electronic music.
