Sonic Subjunkies is a very intriguing band whose second album "Molotov Lounge",
explores eleven very unique worlds. While technically not a concept album, one
could argue that each individual track on this release is a concept album
within itself. Each track is totally arranged, composed and executed around a
collection of samples from a single source. As a result, each track stands,
separate from it's brethren. The samples are primarily from three sources,
Japanese Anime, Feature Films and political news footage with emphasis on the
controversial, and downright strange. Musically the album flip flops between
two extremes, blitzkreig Drum'n'Bass and Ambient with little room in between.
At times the percussion is so calculatingly fast that the staccato rhythm is
almost noise. Overall, I still wonder whether anyone can truly enjoy the
disjointed nature of the music, samples, and presentation. While the music is
certainly enjoyable at face value, at times the triteness of the samples and
their obvious oregins make me wonder if the Sonic Subjunkies aren't a copyright
violation waiting to happen.
