This included

the track "Transistor Rhythm" and "Dragbeat" which received heavy airplay by Annie Nightingale on Radio 1.

Another collaboration followed in 1995, this time with Andrew Weatherall and Jagz Cooner of "Sabres Of Paradise" (again with Bleasdale), this produced the heavy underground anthem, "Crash" under the guise of "Cymbol" on

Concrete Recordings. This caught the attention of DJ's like Justin Robertson, John Peel and Annie Nightingale.

21st SENTRY: 5-Track Demo Review - Centaur Discs

================================================

"Thirty two minutes of which the opening track, 'Proteus', is simply stunning - this huge chunky, beefy unstoppable drum rhythm around which assorted synth, sample and keyboard motifs revolve, changing shape as they travel, even abandoning the rhythm to fantastic dynamic extent at one point, before it re-enters and the whole thing rolls forward. The only thing to do after you've played this track is to turn the volume higher and play it again - just fantastic. 'Battle' is more of a slow swirler with some wheezing synth lines boinging and swooping, as assorted rhythms eventually emerge with a gorgeous almost string-synth lead horizon flowing overhead, and it has to be said, a superb track once the boinging synth line ceases, building to quite a stormer in many ways, all very solid and strong, still addictive too. 'Girls like too...' features a faster rhythm, almost trancey techno if you'll forgive the juxtaposition, synths and electronic drums plus rising bass synth throbs and sequencer rhythms assembling and building to supremely muscular extent, the whole thing flowing as one giant multi-layered organic unit, the rhythms propelling the track and your head along in their wake, and another utter gem of a composition. 'Broken Piano' starts with abstract synths swirling around before this throbbing bass synth rhythm enters, joined by a beefy crunching electro-percussive beat that then splinters into an assortment of rhythms as the track blends strength with delicacy, and a lead synth melody slowly flies over the hot, beefy beats, all quite mesmerising. Finally 'Hill Valley' is a touch more chaotic, still rhythmic, melodic but here with a decided industrial flavour and way more seemingly happening in the mix as layers, leads and textures assemble in one huge panorama that rolls inexorably forward changing shape as it goes and actually becoming ever more attractive, a real feat for such a busy track and by the end you have warmed to its huge-sounding, crunching charms. Overall, this is one of the finest demos I've come across - not a weak moment on it - and I can't wait to hear an album from this lot - superb and then some".
