"Oracle Pool 2" is the second label sampler release by British Columbia based
KSM Records. Like many small independent labels, the sampler contains only a
few artists signed directly to the label, while the rest of the talent comes
from a variety of other acts. "Oracle Pool 2" is also unique because it
contains only Electro artists with little or no deviation from the standard
genre model. In fact, I don't I hear a single guitar note, sampled or
otherwise, anywhere on this compilation. Instead, each of the thirteen different
artists featured here have chosen to assault our senses with totally artificial
sounds. Hilights include; Dripping Rictus's 'Severe', with a very familiar, yet
unplaceable string loop, the now defunct Jagd Wild with 'Cry for Salvation' and
'Come Join The Hunt', both with an odd Nordic influence, and 162's 'End', a
short instrumental, yet still packed with a great deal of presence.
Overall "Oracle Pool 2" is a fairly solid compilation of independent artists,
most of which exhibit enough talent to hopefully survive out in the rough wilds
of the Electro Underground.
