HRMN 012EP

"After a decade of bitter tears and hopeless trying our Finnish funkster Randy Barracuda has finally reached his ultimate goal as an artist. He has managed to combine successfully the music of his two favourite composers: Klaus Schulze and Lil' Jon. 'Impossible', You may say. Well, don't believe the hype. Take a listen to 'Streisand Effect''s booming crunk beats, heavy basses, epic synthesizer leads and cristallic arpeggios and choose for yourself. Dubstep hero Tes La Rok's outstanding remix stays true to the original but adds some extra dubby aesthetics to Randy's storming soccer stadium skweee vibes. Backside of the record is dominated by more moody and naturalistic atmospheres. 'Tako To Ama (The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife)' is Randy's homage to the grandiose tradition of Japanese tentacle erotica. In its Asiatic moods and sharp synthesizer stabs you can almost feel the slippery tentacles of an octopus wandering around in your bodily cavities! Record comes to an end with 'Lebensraum,' an eight minute long meditative disco reggae. On 'Lebensraum' the listener finds a totally new aspect of Randy Barracuda's aural art: gone are the rapid staccato melodies and usual stiff funkiness. Maybe Credit00, a mysterious East-German bongo player, gave the track its naturalistic charm and the comfy aura of a forest in the springtime."
