Robot Movement

Machine (with Scott Weiser of Dynamix II and Jackal N Hyde fame). It falls in line with his other work, right into the Miami Bass category of electro. In other words, if you expect lots of low bass and vocorded vocals then this CD doesn't disappoint. All the tracks feature lots of the low-end frequencies that make woofers hum and make cops give out noise tickets. This CD is a must for any electro fan. This CD starts off with "Robot Movement", a nice little Kraftwerk-inspired track working the Vocoder for all it's worth. It then flows into "Will I Dream", a piece of dark electro asking a question reminiscent of HAL 9000's questions about dreams. From there the album goes into stories of Robots, technology and the future. All are good, but the true standout on this album is "We Are Borg", an excellent track featuring Scott Weiser and David Noller (a.k.a. Dynamix II). This track, which makes use of Dynamix's penchant for sampling vocals from cheesy sci-fi flicks, should make any Star Trek fan happy and just might make Phil a superstar on the Trekkie circuit. All in all, this is an excellent CD from a talented individual that should make any electro-bass fan happy. - Michael Harmon

With an awesome use of bass, sounds and an impressive number of tracks, generosity will be the correct term to describe one of the main and essential electro releases of the year 2002. Author of four albums on Breakin', Audio Illusion and Joey Boy records, Phil Klein compiles today his early musical works under his underground Cybernet Systems pseudo. No doubt novices and fans of the first light will be fully satisfied to (re)discover some classical and out of print tunes like astounding "We are Borg" or renowned "Sound Chemistry". Taken from past Battle Trax 02 & 05, Panic Trax 01 "The Dynamix II Electro Bass Compilation" releases, nine old school masterpieces, written from 1995 to 1998, have been completed with more recent productions as wonderful "Robot Movement" & "Circuitry" songs to be released in vinyl later on. In a perfect consistency, fifteen tracks in total easily demonstrate talent of the UK electro movement spearhead. From "Will I Dream?" to "First Contact", "Planet Electro" or "Extreme Force", Battle Trax mastermind declines, in a continuous bass breaking, a music alternatively futuristic, full of scary samples, vocoderised and even acid. Pioneer of the Miami Sound (let's read our interview in the news pages) along side with Scott Weiser (half of Jackal & Hyde / Dynamix II) in the 90's, Bass Junkie is expected to play at the Batofar in Paris, on March the 30th. Don't miss this rare opportunity to hear in preview this vital opus. Five copies of the new CD are to be won at Groovetech.com. But are you really ready for bass ? - atome.fr

Cybernet Systems is an alter ego for Phil Klein, a UK-based electrobass producer better known (as much as you can be on the tiny UK electro scene anyway) under his Bass Junkie identity via releases on the DMX Krew's Breakin' label. 'Robot Movement' consists of some previously released Cybernet Systems outings - including the Dynamix II collaboration 'We Are Borg', about the nearest the UK gets to a bona fide modern day electro classic - with a host of new tracks and comes wrapped in a simultaneously futuristic and old school vibe somewhere between Star Trek and Bladerunner. The music is defiantly hardcore, keeping to a classic electro blueprint with hard, fast 808 beats and, of course, lots and and lots of bass. As a result, 'Robot Movement' might come as something of a shock to the casual listener who's just picked up the latest Gigolo compilation, but for the committed electro freak or anyone looking for some seriously hardcore electronic beats, it's all systems go. *** - Tom Magic Feet Jockey Slut

Here comes a very classy, 808-heavy epic oyride through a world where -tek, -tron, -borg and -netik remain resolutely de rigueur suffixes whilst the sleeve's green-on-black 70s DOS Format typeface introduces a veritable plethora of quality hardcore electro. It's by Bass Junkie, it's a funky borg and we love it - Stuart Turnbull Sleezenation
