It's an exorcism for us. For anyone who has experienced the cathartic 2nd Gen live onslaught this release should be clearly evident and ultimately shared by anyone who has similar feelings of anger and frustration. Main man Wajid Yaseen fires up brutal breakbeat noise assaults and lurches back and forth malevolently whilst rapper Scalper twists and flexes in agonised contortions of unrestrained anger as if assailed by all manner of confusing and conflicting forces, the perfect compliment to Yaseen's ultra-distorted computerised eruptions.
Scalper works out with a lot of demons.
He hurts a lot. Rushing At Thresholds, which closes both the EP and the live set, now remains instrumental in the live context. However Scalper can be heard in full effect on his own EP, recently released on the Flo imprint, the label Yaseen set up initially to release his own debut EP Noise Sculptures . We saw the same demons and we saw the same thing. The pair first hooked up in Asian agit-hoppers Fundamental where Scalper was the frontman and Yaseen the bassist.
