Far Too Loud
Get High

Label: Funkatech

The brilliant-but-still-scarily-young Far Too Loud emerge from their straight-up thug livin' in the tough streets of Guildford, Surrey, to deliver the highly anticipated follow-up to their massive 'Dis Da Rasta / The Touchdown' release on Funkatech earlier this year. Nobody envied the task of following up that record. We all predicted failure. Everyone thought that this time next year they would be on 'I Used To Be A Moderately Well-Known Breakbeat Producer, Get Me Out Of Here'. But no! Momma didn't raise no quitter! From out of nowhere comes Louder Than Life volume 2 to win FTL another few weeks of dreaming that they might one day be in a position to pay their studio electricity bill with the proceeds of record sales.

'Get High' is more than a simple imperative to the 21st century youth to escape from reality through the use of illicit substances: its chunkier-than-one-of-those-massive-Kitkats bassline, rolling beats, deep synths and subtle sampling convey a message of intergalactic peace and fraternity which is all too often forgotten in the throwaway world of modern breakbeat. Indeed, the tune actually features a live recording of a group of slightly camp, diminutive robots having an empathetic chat over a nice cup of tea (honestly! 3:06 onwards...). But seriously... if the monstrously deep bassline and extraordinary intracacy of this track doesn't float your boat, well, you suffer from irredeemably bad taste ;-)

Look out for vol 3 in early 2007!
