Who Still Kill Sound

Who Still Kill Sound? is the classic "odds & sods" set, a disc filled to the brim with effluvium from the recording of Kill Sound Before Sound Kills You.

The album picks up pretty much where the last one left off, with a pair of mercilessly fast and irrepressibly fun 'ardcore tracks ("yr inside the smallest rave on earth" and "slammin' ragga bootleg track"). The first wouldn't have been out of place in a 1992 rave, right down to the cheesy dialogue samples and the frenzied musical cannibalism, the kind of shifty restlessness that inspires the sampling of recognizable bits from last week's best records (I picked out bits and pieces from Rob Base & DJ E-Z Rock as well as a more obscure track from Da Juice). The latter is the first of a few tracks on the album to blend the hardcore sounds with the more domesticated strains of ragga dancehall, to predictably schizophrenic effect.
