The Breakdown
Humanoid Gods describe their latest EP ( Humanoid Gods 02 ) as a journey which embraces the unexplained, unidentified and unbelievable events which take place in our stratosphere from the beyond. A gripping odyssey from another realm of the cosmos full of darkness, tension and interstellar soundscapes.
Opening with impending power, ‘Aguadilla UFO’ is a thumping track which sets a powerful mood for what’s to come. With the darkness also comes a glimpse of light as ‘Globular Light’ shows off euphoric chords that slowly build into a hypnotic 303 state of mind. Kick comes heavy and hard as ‘Vimanika Shastra’ turns up the intensity with a relentless track that pushes through the darkness of space at hyper speed. ‘Gemini 7’ features a beautifully syncopated feeling of floating through a distant galaxy as its acid notes dance playfully through the unknown.
These 4 tracks from Humanoid Gods are a follow on from the first EP bearing the same name. Releasing on the Humanoid Gods’ imprint, these frequencies broadcasted from the far reaches of our universe galvanize harmoniously into a perfectly constructed EP that will excite and elate.
Verdict:
Hard Techno with a slice of acid. Aguadilla UFO and Vimanika Shastra are solid late night Techno thumpers while Globular Light and Gemini 7 have a more elevated lighter tone using the 303 to add a rhythmic hypnotic drive. Great production on this one with just the right attention given to the arrangements to make the tracks flow with ease. The EP has that hard edge but doesn’t get weighed down by any lack of movement as the tracks constantly evolve and push forward. A sonic tractor beam of an EP that draws you into the world of the Humanoid Gods.
