I kind of wish the production went a bit further, I was somewhat disappointed by level of industrialised distorted mid-range, it could be much more nasty, also probably more edits and stuff would be good... something like "Phantom" say is OK, but it stills sounds a little tame... would be awesome if it sounded more like the crunchy Mr Oizo stuff or the more banging end of Jackson's stuff... also the drums on a lot of Ed Banger stuff are dull- people go on about them having "stadium rock" drums but that is pure bullshit, sure they appear to be attempting something like that, but they lack the sonic mass necessary to achieve something properly headbanging, whilst at the same time are deficient in more traditionally house-like syncopation.
phantom is a goblin track from tenebre.
which makes me feel they're like hardcore but with sampling for cool cult classic things rather than that street/back thru soul and funk thing that hardcore had. it's all tres self concious since justice have a campy horror image.
yes agreed tim it is a kinda messier electroclash thing, in the same way that css are a messier electroclash thing than peaches.
i thought the last ed banger lp had about 2 good tracks on. it was very poor as a showcase lp.
