To me, Subliminal Sandwich is unquestionably Meat Beat Manifesto's definitive statement. I picked it up when I was like 14, expecting it to sound like KMFDM or something. What I got was a dense, cerebral, sample-packed fusion of electronic styles -- techno, trip-hop, dub, electro-industrial, house, ambient -- that initially went completely over my head. By the time I was 18, though, I was smoking hella weed, which allowed me to see this record for the masterpiece that it is. And the years since have been extremely kind; today, I dig it more than ever.

ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite releases from Trent Reznor's short lived (is 10 years short lived?)Nothing Records. Over the years, it was this album and Prick's debut that would continue to grow on me like a fungus, evolving, growing and seeping into my brain where they still reside today.
ReplyDeletethis is one of the greatest albums of all time. it even has someone from miles davis bitch's brew sessions on it, i've heard. a total masterpiece, and agreed, mbm's best work, even better than actual sounds and voices and the rest of the stacked discography.
ReplyDeleteI do really crave for reupload, many thanks!
