Following in the axiom that it is better to burn out than fade away, Fifth
Columns Records gasps for it's last breathe in the form the supergroup
proGREX.iv before imploding into obscurity. Ironically, Jared Hendrickson of
Chemlab and former FCR general manager plays a role, albeit small one, on this
release which just goes to prove that you can't keep him down for long. The
rest of the contestants are rounded out with the duo of Mick Hale and V.
Markus of Crocodile Shop and D!v!s!on #9 who are perhaps better known than
their counterparts George Sarah and Sarah Folkman of T.H.C. To continue down
the inane path that has already been set by such diverse personas is the fact
that over half of the so called pro.GREX.iv material is actuality remixes and
out takes from the various participants' primary projects. In essence this
eclectic collection of Drum'n'Bass, Trance, and other more experimental beat
driven electronics, is no more than regurgitated music. I'll just shut up now
as I think the prevailing evidence speaks for itself.
proGREX.iv is: Mick Hale, V. Markus, George Sarah, Sarah Folkman & Jared
Hendrickson
