Plastic Attack - Ara-U & Radioactive Man (Asking For Trouble)


Title: Plastic Attack 
Artist: Ara-U & Radioactive Man 
Label: Asking For Trouble
Cat Number: AFT005
Genre: Electro

A1: Datatheft
A2: Failure To Communicate
B1: Daytime Robbery
B2: The Last Waltz

This is electro which surfs the electronic nether regions; occasionally dense and damp, at other times more expansive and unconfined. What joins the machine funk dots though, is a syncopated, grinding momentum that strafes the senses with methodical finesse. ‘Failure To Communicate’ recalls balmy evenings spent listening to Aux 88 through the medium of ‘Voice of America’ era Cabs. ‘Daytime Robbery’ is a slow, seedy cruise which evokes sundry imaginings of potential felonies. ‘Datatheft’ is a grinding, friction-filled fusion while ‘The Last Waltz’ takes the listener on a more energetic excursion beyond the rhythm.
