Stromkern: "Light It Up"
(WTii Records) Although it isn't anomalous to catch strong whiffs of metal wafting out of today's kraut-techno, urbania was a resource woefully underemployed prior to the hip-hoppish ranting dotting this follow-up to last year's widely applauded EP. Fleshed out nicely with plenty-enough daredevil risks, a haunting piano layer reminiscent of the main theme to Road to Perdition ("Forgiven") can be found among assorted other goth and low-BPM accoutrements. Order at Tower Records. [Review by Eric W. Saeger]
