Press Reviews Detritus is the debut release for the fledgling UK label and distribution company, Fleshmadeword, who specialise in rhythmic power noise ala Ant-Zen and more dark ambient/electronic music. A new labels first release is always a bit of a gamble how it seems to have paid off with this fantastic example of drill n' bass/rhythmic industrial/breakbeat release. Detritus mix a fusion break neck drill n' bass and distorted neo-techno beats, occasional dark ambient structures, spoken word samples, beautifully hypnotic choral segments and lavish yet subtle neo-classical arrangements which pull together the relentless barrage of beats seamlessly. At present there is an endless supply of beat driven industrial noise and dark drill n' bass releases with labels like ant-Zen, Hymen and Hands Productions going from strength to strength and new labels such as Ad Noiseam putting out some quality releases, however with this seemingly endless amount of releases occasionally they all come a bit samey with noting much standing out, however what Detritus have managed to do is put together a collection of tracks that are predominately beat driven and avoid the almost compulsive inclusion of noise and overly distorted rhythms to create an album that is as hard and pounding as its predecessors but has an incredibly fresh sound to it. Perhaps it's the collusion of perfectly written and structured melodically rhythmic beats and classical excursions, or perhaps its jut that Detritus have pillaged the very best and most crucial elements of the power noise/drill n' bass scene and have forged them into a sound of their very own. Whatever the reason is, Detritus has found its way into the small pile of releases that gets a regular play when I'm not reviewing, especially when I'm driving. With this being the first release from this label; you have to expect great things next, as 'Sense/Martyr' has positioned itself firmly at the top end of this genre with the greatest of ease and will no doubt have Ant-Zen and the like panicking that their strangle hold on the scene looks to be weakening.
