Shocks IV
Here lies the final chapter in the first testament of Shocks, and as with the previous three releases, we're granted no mercy. A-side tracks 'Trajl' and 'Contagious' are a full fledged assaults on the psyche, taunting with just enough melody to convince us of musicality, but never really rising from of the swamp they're stewed in. Featuring plenty of, ahem, stereo dimensionalism, 'Trajl' provide a tripped out cosmic house chug - perfect for that A Love From Outer Space dancefloor. 'Contagious' shuffles across the room with an ethno tribal feel - Jon Hassle style sinuous trumpet lines, top note chimes and a continuous head-nodding groove. Droning, drifting ambient psych B-side cut 'Klámata' could be seen as a comedown after all that chugging, but provides the perfect counterpoint.
