There’s nothing like a “rave whoop” to clear the Sunday morning cobwebs innit? Thankfully ‘Rage Signal’ comes correct with a variety of hardcore trope, among which the whoop is one. It’s a blast from the past which feels ahead of its time. What is refreshing about all of these tracks is their rawness and freshness. The flute in ‘Centurion’ takes me back to the essence of Depthcharge’s ‘Hando Jin’, which, while lacking woodwind, has a similar cultural slant. It’s on steroids here though: Don't Come Cryin’ features an incredibly crisp sub bass and ‘Jah’s Comin’’ is a great example of eliciting clarity from disparate heavy elements. Sophisticated and clever beyond measure, as well as great fun.
