CD REVIEW!!!

 

Artist: ubik.

CD: "The World is a Glorious Biomechanical Nightmare"

Seattle heavy-robot rockers Ubik are taking over. By servo or sword they
will surely conquer. The four-piece eschews guitars, and instead
dominates with two fully-pedaled bass guitars. They self-recorded and
mixed this six song EP at the famed Octagon in Seattle. The intensity of
their live show translates very well to disc. The effected vocals and
basses come through as well, which can tough to catch in their live
show.

The recording is excellent; the songs are fantastic and the CD looks great itself.
People might accuse me of being biased in this review, but I am not being biased at
all. This CD is full of well-written, well-played agit-robocore and it completely
resonates. I must admit I have been a fan of this band since their first show.
Michelle and company deserve Seattle’s full attention. Michelle’s vocal are powerful
whether she is singing or growling. Tyler’s drumming is really great, and Eric and
Joel work very well together. Check this band out.
Two tracks that sit especially well are “!!!!!!” and “External Retraction.”

Keep up the good work.
