BLEEP << Italian producer Pearl River Sound lands on the fairly new Spanish label Adepta Editions for their first ever 12” vinyl release entitled The Amen Experience. The music contained comes as advertised, as Pearl River Sound most certainly pays tribute to the Amen break in his adventure through some vintage drum and bass moves. It’s not classicism though, PRS adds modernist touches throughout: a high pitched vocal chop here, some alien textured synths there to ground tracks like ‘The Horny’ and ‘Ragga Bass’ in the gonzo sounds of contemporary hardcore. It’s truly the best of both worlds. >>
IGLOO MAGAZINE << The Amen Experience is a powerhouse of heavy rhythm, funk, and breaks from the farthest edges of braindance. >>
JUNO << Old school amen breaks lovers this one is for you: Pearl River Sound has perfected them across this five-track offering on Adepta Editions with 'Acidduo' kicking off with lashings of acid. 'The Horny' is a jungle workout with distorted textures and busted bass in constant motion, then 'Breakyweaky' flips the script and offers up some electro-tinged hip-hop funk with a dark and menacing mood. 'Ragga Bass' is a brilliantly silly cut that will blow up any sound system and 'Rob Of The D' is just as thrilling and unhinged. >>
