Limited to 100 copies and in swell CDR format, this brief split
disc pits breakcore wizard Mochipet (né
David Wang) against the DIY noise-techno outlet Dental Work
(né Jay Watson). Mochipet,
whose resume includes an album on Tigerbeat6 sublabel Violent Turd, is
the more polished of the two. His "Barack Obama" - a breakbeat
pummelling of classical Chinese music - is done to perfection, neatly
carving up a pretty instrumental melody. Meanwhile, his "Hilary
Clinton" is more abstract, while "John McCain" rocks like a
Republican. On the other end of things, Dental Work comes from
a more lo-fi angle, and his tracks are a bit less mathematical in
complexity - and considerably weirder. His second track (I can't make
out the title) merges weird electronic drone with spastic beats to
create an altogether bizarre three minutes, while quaint "Fuck John
McCain" is the sound of a Nintendo game being gutted and draped over
the walls of an 8-bit slaughterhouse.
Mochipet's more traditional breakcore might be the
main draw here, but Dental Work's
weird sonic experiments are worth a look in their own right.
