| DESCRIPTION: |
Not only have these industrial-gabber
tracks appeared as classics in Bombardier live shows and
CD mixes, but they have been paramount in defining the overall
Bombardier sound. Originally slotted for release on the ill-fated
Crapshoot Records in 1998, these tracks finally appear on
the second Divison 13 release under the Kamphetamine alias. |

| REVIEWS: |
Prostitute (on Division 13, a sub-label
of Low Res), done under Snell's Kamphetamine persona, sticks
to the gabber-tempo beats layered with rough, growling, distorted
guitar-like frequencies. The result is harsh, trebly, and
nasty, and the beats pump non-stop, head-banging anti-social
grooves that'll have you breaking shit around the room in
no time. Four tracks of unbridled violence.
-Carlos Pozo (Grooves
Magazine)
Kamphetamine is Jason Snell , with yet another project. If 13th Hour is his moniker
for industrial-ish tracks, Bombardier the house of the sample overload, Kamphetamine
stands for steady, heavy beats and plenty of booty shaking. This "Prostitute" 12",
which I believe is the only 100% Kamphetamine release, is here to integrate Snell's
typical gritty and rich textures into gabber structures. Your ears might end
up bleeding and you might use your shoes quite fast dancing like this, but that's
collateral casualties.
"Stomping" is the first and foremost adjective that comes to mind when one listens
to "Prostitute". I am pretty much headbanging while typing this review, and if
the track structure are quite easy (sample, straight beat, break, straight beat,
no outro), the sounds used are quite original and well chosen. While I get bored
very fast by usual gabber, Jason Snell 's mix of aggressive samples and scraping
saturated drums provide this record with a particular feeling. Definitely bearing
the Bombardier touch, these beats are not plain but have a good grinding heavyness
that add to the clubby feeling of the four tracks.
One can't write a lot about four good industrial / gabber tracks, for it is pretty
obvious what you get here. And still, keep in mind that the sound of "Prostitute" is
neither straight gabber nor ultradistorted rhythmic noise, but something in between,
and something that will work in clubs, I guarantee. Recommended too to be sure
to wake up in the morning.
