DJ? Acucrack: Nation State
- Nation State (Shorty Mix) 5:20
- Its More Fun To Compute 3:15
- Bitch Universal 7:59
- Neophyte 3:55
- Time For You To Leave 5:57
Just to spite all of the critics who have said that Acumen Nation uses too many
guitars in their music, Jason Novak and Jamie Duffy have persuaded Slipdisc
Records to create a new sublabel called Lost in Bass just to release their new
Techno project aptly named DJ? Acucrack. As one might expect, DJ? Acucrack is a
totally electronic project created to thumb it's nose in the direction of all
Electro-purists. 'Nation State' is a five song single that is meant to simply
offer a taste of what will appear on the debut DJ? Acucrack album due out later
this year. For the most part the tracks on this single are rather run of the
mill Trance influenced Electronia, with just a hint of atmosphere in places.
The surprise track on this CD is none other than a cover version of Kraftwerk's
'Its More Fun to Compute', with it's updated sound and poignantly chosen
samples. Overall 'Nation State' is a rather uninspiring collection of Techno
tracks that while they would work well in the middle of a club mix, somehow
they fail to measure up when played in a home stereo.
