ALEXANDERS DARK BAND

''Named after a particular effect created by some rainbows, Alexander's Dark Band is yet another pseudonym for J Saul Kane better known for his kung fu sampling proto-breakbeat Depth Charge (his earliest tracks date back to 1988!), or mutated analogue electro as The Octagon Man. Alexander's Dark Band sits, sonically, smack bang in the middle crossing some brutalist electro sounds with clattering breaks and drums, scratches and a b-movie aesthetic (plenty of weird animal samples and is that a sample from Caddyshack?!). Although two albums under this pseudonym have previously been released on vinyl this is the first release to also be available on CD, and as such it contains a couple of bonus tracks from those two earlier records. Dobutsu Bancho is ridiculously funky in parts Dead Metal Dyno Rock is a psychotic analogue funk workout that recalls the best of mid 90s acid breakbeat (without the 303), whilst Space Donkeys On Crack lives up to its name as as sci fi breakbeat freakout. More excellent perverted dancefloor pressure from DC Recordings.''
