Los Angeles based duo Pulse Legion combine the programming elements of the
keyboard maestro's Mentallo & The Fixer with more of an aggressive mood on
their debut "Evolve". Ultimately, Pulse Legion push their complex programming
style to new levels with the sheer variation of keyboard rhythms and digital
texturing. Yet with all of their obvious talent they cannot seem to shed the
shadow of the Dassing brothers throughout the entire album. However it is
difficult to determine if this is simply a coincidence or a more blatant
attempt to mimic a very successful band. Yet, it is probably safe to give Pulse
Legion the benefit of the doubt and enjoy their music since I highly doubt it
was their intent to sound so derivative. The one thing that Pulse Legion does
really well is to raise the overall BPM of their music to make it very suitable
to club play and inevitably a probable stable of most club DJ's. They have also
included a collaboration with COP International label-mates Soil & Eclipse,
War-N Harrison of Fishtank No. 9 and Count Zero of Deathline International in
the form of 'Before The Punishment' which makes for a very interesting listen.
Pulse Legion is a band that has certainly suffered from a rather unfortunate
clone syndrome on their first release but they seem to contain just enough
talent that they will hopefully break forth from their shell with a future
release.
