Product Description: Meat Beat Manifesto has been hailed as one of the frontrunners in the electronic music scene since 1987. Front man Jack Dangers has avoided being categorized by continuously expanding his musical influences and overall direction of the band. No two albums sound alike. Now, with this tenth release, the group is pushing musical boundaries even further, creating a tour de force of electronic genius sure to spark renewed interest in the dubstep and electronic music scenes.
what the! okay effort by Jack but sounds like old MBM, stuff released under Jack's name and very much like Mick Harris's SCORN in parts, also let's thank someone or something that the jazz is gone.
Mind Bending This is a test. This is only a test.
Short Review: Just Buy It!
Long Review: I recently saw Meat Beat Manifesto (Great live show) and heard a bunch of tunes that were new to me and very mind bending. I didn't check out the merchandise area because there were about a million people around a 4 x 4 table. So once I got home I did some detective work (aka check amazon.com) and find Autoimmune. First thing I would like to say is the recording is top notch. It is pure sound. The second thing I can say is the music is very deep or rather has a lot of depth. It is the kind of music that makes your mind feel like it has expanded one thousand feet out of your head. This CD alone makes me want to buy $1000.00 headphones. With so many good MBM recordings it is hard for me to say this is the best, but as of late, it is what I listen to most when I want to experience Jack Dangers world. You will not be disappointed with this CD. I am hard pressed to say that there is one bad song. If MBM comes by your area don't miss the show. Just buy it!
Possibly the best Meat Beat album since Subliminal Sandwhich If RUOK took Meat Beat in the direction of modern hiphop done with access to a room full of rare vintage synthesizers, Autoimune refines that vision to a razor blade and adds a splash of everything that has made Meat Beat work from album to album. Eclectic, polished, ugly, beautiful, and soulful. Solid Waste echoes Freindly Fa$cism era Consolidated and songs like Edge Of No Control and Asbestos Lead Asbestos while other songs echo everything from Jack Dangers solo work on Important Records to strait ahead hip hop and dub. All is infused with challenging rhythms and gut shaking bass.
Oh Yeah More fuzzed out bleeping organic than NIN, with some good tasty rap that stands out like Shadow or Wax Tailor. This is no 80's music! Crunchy breakbeats and mountainous bass, this album is varied but always sounding good. It loves you long time!
I can hardly bear to say it, but it must be said: I'm a little sad that this album sounds so much more like previous material. It's very good, but after the innovation of the last album, I had my hopes up for more jazz and less hip hop, or at least something further from their comfort zone.
C'est La Vie. Their live show will still make a straight edged square dance and hollar like a burnt out fiend.
