The Evil Professor Y

This is the follow up compilation to The Mysterious Projekt X (read the review here) and again does not fail to impress. You can never be disappointed with the range of sounds on these records, if you think about the title, any genre ideas made will be included in, of course, a seamless fashion. This LP is filled with hidden gems and Factory Fast Records deserve so much praise for bringing this music to light. It also features one of our previously review tracks from The Everglows, read our review of 'Amanita' here.

The album opens gracefully with 'Aliens in Woodstock' by Creeping Volt Club, a song focused almost entirely on melodies which create an almost groovy and cool atmosphere thats simply heaven to absorb. The second track, 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' from The Harrison Brothers, leaks reminders of Austin Powers and his vibrant 60's era. The song itself isn't boasting obvious 60's DNA but its there, those fuzzy, faded guitars and organ like keyboard notes all allude to a 60's inspiration.
'Fire `n' Fear' from The Poulsons takes you off your feet with their brooding electronic infused rock sound. Its deep and layered, no matter how many times I listen to it I can still find different bits that I didn't notice before. The Love Buzzards with 'Dungeon Party' turns the album to a brilliantly raucous track. There's rough vocals, dangerous guitars and a glorious beat, what's not to love?

'Untouchable' by Alpha State of Mind sends prickles down your spine with its immense intro. The good feelings don't end there, the song continues to emulate magnificence through its powerful vocals and unsteady beat. Concluding the album with an awe inspiring darkness is 'Feed the Machine' by The Windsor Project. The track is the heaviest on the LP and resonates deep within as it's pace quickens and slows with a deft prowess.

The album will be available in two days on the 10th of March on all good online retailers or pre-order it here.

The Mysterious Projekt X

This is the first compilation out of Factory Fast Record's new Projekt X series. All three CD's in this compilation feature the sort of music you would expect when you think of the title: spacey auras, sci-fi tones, electro melodies and that extra kick ass element brought in by the last few tracks which boast rock genetics. The album actually features one of the artists who have recently graced our presence: The Magickal. Their recent single 'The Ticket' is 4th track on the compilation and you can read the full review of their dark and gripping electro track here.

Rightfully opening the album are The Poulsons with 'Germiston', a synth filled track with a very prominent reminder of Bowie, supplied mainly through the vocals but there are hints in the melodies too. 'Get Me Going' by Wild Horse  is a song filled with flaunts and exhibitioned talents. The twang of guitar notes, the plodding tempo of the beat and the ruling of the almost raw, in your face vocals make sure that you understand the power and talent the band have, and rightly so, they make an irresistible listen.
Creeping Volt Club's 'Time Bandit' is an eerie song, the whispers of voices and echoing sounds float around your head space and make you feel like you are in some sort of 80's laser quest. The music also holds a hypnotic talent; a wormhole of repetitive melodies try and suck you up, locking up your mind for a while.

The Statements are back again with a stripped back rock tune following their appearance in 'Rigged And Wired' (read the full review here). 'Bad Cilla' sounds both pure and fuzzy, creating a confused but mind tingling composition. 'Motorcycle Man' by Logaine is perfectly opened with loud and in your face guitar riffs. The song has an endless build of momentum formed by the rolling guitar riffs makes your blood run and swells your heart. The Windsor Project follows with a similar rock prowess with their song 'This is Where We Say Goodbye'.
