"Originally released in Ireland in 1996, this startling collection of off-center electro trickery and techno stomp is reissued to coincide with Anodyne's appearance on the new Skam Record's Mask EP [this has got to be the most ludicrous marketing angle ever!]. The current climate of Rephlex/Warp/Skam-type malarkey will be more than complimented by the re-arrival of this 3-years-ahead-of-its-time set, which neatly fuses caustic drill'n'bass with perversely a-rhythmic speaker damage and industrial strength bass pounding. However, the audio assault course is smartly juxtaposed with lush, 808 State-style melodic interludes, hard hip hop breaks and plunging electro dub."

"From the deeply creative Dublin Bunker that houses Decal and the Phunk City crew comes this unnerving 9 track set of slo-mo dark-core beat music that starts off from an instrumental hip hop standpoint and steadily progresses into heavily frayed and decayed excursions on the outer reaches of the breakbeat galaxy. The loops of fog-funk are shot through with displaced paranoia and vague nausea; produced with a minimal set up of sampler and drum machine, much of its 'charm' coming from the decidedly un-hip use of snatches of old punk & ska singles, this menacing collection ranks alongside the likes of Tricky, New Kingdom, the Isolantionist and Slotek in terms of grinding, lo-fi uneasy listening."
