Radioboy

Despite this album being in the planning stages for over a year, it has suddenly found a whole new position in the world. Instead of being seen as a personal soundtrack to western society's deliberate and malicious empirical ambitions, it feels defensive in its attacks on an America so tragically transformed.

Radioboy, een side-project van Matthew Herbert, levert met The mechanics of destruction een cd vol maatschappij kritische electronica af. Het dagelijks leven in samples zeg maar. Indrukwekkende muziek.

Uit de linernotes:

Coca cola
Sole sound source: one can of Coke, one can of Pepsi.
The 180bpm double speed section represents today's accelerated culture that is all pervasive and all destructive.

Rwanda
The track is 8.5 seconds long, one second for each 100,000 people killed, a conservative estimate.
