MUSICK 018CD
|
This is the first full-length release for Oliver Greschke alias Magnum 38 -- Germany's smartest weapon. After the release of his hit single Disco Toni (co-produced by T. Raumschmiere and remixed by Motor) Old Europe Strikes Back is an invitation to everybody to take part in the pleasure and pain of Magnum 38's everyday life: weird electronics, glam-pop, dancefloor hysteria, pathetic moments and a high risk of self-destruction all combine to create some graceful electronic noir -- crumbled, smashed and all mixed up again. Based upon his powerful gnarzy breakbeats and the weird noises that typically vitalize his productions, Magnum 38 reveals some new and unexpected sides of himself: spheric soundscapes, hysteric disco-rave sounds and poppy smash hits. Old Europe Strikes Back is not a concept album, but the result of Greschke's investigation in energies and subcultures all around the globe. Magnum 38, who has been part of the Shitkatapult label family right from the beginning, sucks up these energies like a black hole, searching for inspiration, selecting them, cutting them into small pieces and recompiling them into his very own vision of electronic music.

Oliver Greschke crafts breakbeat solo productions under the alias Magnum 38, and now he writes a musical portrait of a dirty, sexy lost super-hero named Disco Toni. This is a techno/electro explosion that will burn everything and everybody wherever it is played. With its gnarzy breakbeats and its deepness, it's rave and pop at the same time, but most of all it's a monster, monster, monster. Novamute superstars Motor deliver an ass-kicking 4-to-the-floor remix.

"It's time to start 2004 with some retribution. 4 Fois Le Petit Mort summarizes four tracks of music into one that we would die for: cross-cutting work on Shitkatapult's sound without any residual handicap. Whoever had hoped for an extension of drum n bass crimes should now look to call the serious fraud office. 4 Fois Le Petit Mort is the right ammo for the DJ magazine when blow up dolls and cardboard persons block the dance floor. The 'Sägemann' dresses up as a dentist who is pushing down his nervous foot onto the bass pedal of the patient's chair, thus giving the gnarz-sound some root treatment. Is someone trying to up the ante here at Raumschmiere's throne? 'Klink Jive' is the shuffling night sister under minimal techno vibes and a runner in every rubber clinic amongst patients with open legs. The concept of 'Klick Klick' could easily be heavyweight rawkus garage at marching tempo. It's a track for the trucker disco with free parking for a 40-ton truck. Last but not least, the 'Zerstäuber' dies a small death in the final groove. This doesn't happen without sending a 101 guide to broken rhythm schemes through the pa for IDM-SAT test-takers. This is the perfect record for in-between two Shitkatapult discs."
