Generator EP - Assembler Code (Censor Music)


Title: Generator EP
Artist: Assembler Code
Label: Censor Music
Cat Number: CNSRM003
Genre: Electro

A1: Monochrome
A2: Perimeter Inspection
B1: Generator
B2: Lateral Transfer

Very much a man of the moment, Assembler Code once more comes correct with four tracks of intricate machine funk to send you down multiple electronic wormholes and back again. There’s a dense, claustrophobic quality to the four tunes here, as well as a rawness which, together with an overwhelming sense of menace combines to create a dystopian panorama, perfect for soundtracking this contaminated age. The title track is the tetchiest thing here, and could well have come straight out of the UR electro colouring book. ‘Lateral Transfer’, by contrast, is slow motion menace and grinding foreboding. The whole release feels portentous and loaded, with the remaining two tracks falling in between tempo wise. Mind-boggling brilliance.
