Here are two brief tracks of Slogun's token power electronics assault: Plenty of textured distortion and those immediately recognizable vocal shouts - classic. This time around the vocals aren't as out front as they often are, and there's a decidedly more lo-fi vibe to the recording. Everything is thicker and more dense, and the distortion moves around a lot. There's not a great deal of layering, or at least it doesn't seem so, but the distortion feels more mobile, which I like. Hell, in "For Good" the vocals are even whispered at times, along with the token shouting. I like these two tracks a lot, they each stand on their own and seem a bit more unusual than most of what I've heard from Slogun to some degree. The "business card" CD-R comes in a slim jewel case with a semi-transparent black tray and a color cover that folds over halfway on the back, hand-numbered of 55 copies. The cover art is great, showing some sort of worn mural or artwork that's done over bricks. I like the color scheme and such a lot. The tracks are listed in the wrong order, as "I Come Back" is actually the first track, "For Good" the second, despite what the tracklist reads. But that's obvious from one listen, so... no big deal. This is a great EP, another winner from PACrec, and I must say that the variation from the standard packaging of the label definitely stands out here.
