NRG fans should probably mark October 23rd in their diaries, as that’s when BRK’s first full-length album will finally be touching down. Thanks to the man himself I’ve got hold of it a little early – it’s a really quality collection of tracks that definitely confirms the progress he’s made over the past year.<\/p>\n

The album starts off with the title track Genesis<\/em>, an utterly fantastic 3 minutes of dark atmosphere. It might be odd to choose an intro as my favourite track, but it’s a brilliant piece of work and a very worthy start to the album. The meat of the tracklist is of course Lab 4-influenced NRG, given some really nice extra touches with the collabs later on. Standouts for me might be the FINRG-released Rome Will Burn Down<\/em>, the pounding intro to Pitch Black <\/em>and the lovely filters of Saint Evil<\/em>, but there’s also some welcome variety with the piano sequence in Something I Can’t Do <\/em>and the vocals of Love’s a Bitch. <\/em><\/p>\n

Great to see Heathen involved in trademark style on Everything Dies<\/em>, before the album closes with a couple of minutes of downtempo, melancholy piano. Minimal but atmospheric, it’s a nice way to end things and actually clocks around 80bpm, raising the possibility of some interesting mixes in an NRG set.<\/p>\n

This is essential stuff for any NRG fan, then, and a big achievement by BRK after all his hard work. Be sure to support a real trooper of our scene by checking this out in a couple of weeks time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
