Corps Noir - Tryst Temps

Ripping through the spacetime of the airwaves comes the "Corps Noir" EP — meaning "black body", as in the scientific concept of a "black body" — with enough aggression and vengeance to slice through metal.

The good: Though predicated upon scientific themes, nothing about "Corps Noir" is scientific. No, it's produced with a savage, primal, almost terrifying violence, like an out-of-control criticality accident in a nuclear reactor, or the splitting of an atom to release mammoth amounts of energy and mammoth ammounts of bass. Tryst Temps aim "Corps Noir" like a shotgun — a scattershot of neurofunk's most aggressive, merciless production across its four tracks.

The bad: Some of these mix and masters are a little harsh — whether intentionally or not — and its unrelenting intensity can be a little overwhelming.
