It looks like the very long-awaited Smiling Corpse 002 is arriving over the horizon, and most of you will already have enjoyed the impressive collection of clips on the label’s SoundCloud. Blender’s Illogical really caught my ear, a track from back in the day finally getting a well-deserved release.

One of the darkest tracks revealed so far, it never fails to bring back memories of the peerless NRGetic Romancer ravers going at it in Studio Cube, which is most definitely a compliment. The only possible criticism is the lack of ‘crispness’ in comparison with some of the other tunes on the album, but frankly I prefer a bit of grit in my NRG and with some intelligent track selection it wouldn’t cause DJs any trouble at all.
