Press Reviews Splendid E-zine on "Break Dark Thunder" EP "This unusual combination teams ambient electronic beats with simmering hip-hop rhymes, which is kind of like shooting DJ Spooky and Kool Keith out your local space station airlock with a set of turntables and a microphone. Electronically speaking, Psychoactive Systems' beats are tight, relying on a distinct minimalism that creates the mood, but doesn't interfere with the lyrical and programming elements. Ambient keyboards and swirling effects zoom in and out of the forefront as three MCs take turns unleashing abstract rhymes that mesh well with the airy beats behind them. There's a definite and immediate disposition created by Psychoactive Systems -- one that lets your subconscious play a part in the analysis and digestion of the band's music. Prepare to misplace your consciousness as tracks like "Locusthead" and "Seismic Anomaly" wander off into unsettled territories deep within your brain, leaving you with a total loss of time and a cloudy confusion as to your whereabouts. You may be witnessing the birth of space-hop...or perhaps you've just been the victim of an alien abduction..." -- am
