Ugandan Methods – Sixth Method

Power!!! She Belongs To Eternity - what a F*****g track!

I think this is great. i love all of his projects ( Ancient Methods , Room 506 , Eschaton etc..) he is brilliant

At a time when many yearn for originality and a tongue in cheek approach to techno, Ancient Methods have been keeping a low profile, and through nothing but blood, sweat and tears have they created a loyal cult following and have forged a sound equaled by none at the moment. When most toss around the term underground like a deflated ping pong ball, these guys keep their integrity intact and bring forth the gravy, no strings attached.

Their latest, and their second collaboration with techno's stalwart Regis, is no exception either. Do not get turned off by the layout, as the pink translucent vinyl is, well, an optical illusion. As far as the music goes, expect an overabundance of bludgeoning percussion, thorn riddled rhythms outthrusted with retributive ferocity, and twenty thousand aural whip cracks worth of industrial techno mechanics, guaranteeing the deadliest possible impact.

Those familiar with the previous installations of the series know the order of the day by now. Your body crushed. Your cerebrum perforated. Your entire appearance pulverized. Your tomb napalm raided. The end.
Beneath The Black Arch and Between A Sleep And A Sleep have a good shot at the more daring and dusty podiums, where time is not a factor to worry about, and there are no spot lights emphasizing the DJs face. Everyone's confined within the claustrophobic environment of four black walls steadily closing in as the music progresses! Pure raw 'n' rusty tools with a mild tribalistic funky war rhythm, just to keep the dance floor credentials in check. Needless to say, the outcome is on the very high Ancient Methods level.

However, it's She Belongs To Eternity which is gold medal material here. Don't really where to start, as this has got to be the most mental, tweaked out, ambitious piece on the label thus far. An all out assault of tastily appalling noise arrangements, industrial tones making one's flesh insistently creep and tremendous pagan drum rolls causing the trellis-work in medieval monasteries to tremble... This one will just fleece you with a blunt tea spoon. Bottom line: this is hard, yet unlike anything you could have imagined these three lads could have come up with.

AM 06 is easily superior to their Downwards collaboration in 2009. This time around, they all sound way more confident and willing to push the envelope even further. While the "Mat Oput & 1/2" release drew inspiration from the previous Ancient Methods and Ugandan Speed Trials releases, this one does rightfully so as well, but infuses them with a much needed dose of sulfuric adrenaline. What more can I say? Just as anything else with the Ancient Methods name on it, this is a safe purchase.
