Repercussions / Chestplate

“On Greg Sanders' sophomore effort, the dubstep titan begins exploring the gritty borderlands between his normal territory and industrial music. It's a hugely promising fusion, and if the results are sometimes just a bit conceptually thin the music is still very enjoyable all the way through. The two genres blend most fruitfully on tracks like Koncrete, with its grinding guitar pulses, and the sharp but cool Skeleton Grin. Loosen My Grip is great for the first minute or two but doesn't develop enough new material to justify its length, and the same is true of Mirror Tell and the title track. However, Sending Chills employs a nifty flute loop that contrasts nicely with the track's overall dark, spare ambience. [Planet Mu's 2008 version of this album includes a bonus disc that brings together all nine releases previously issued on Sanders' own Chestplate label, all of them by Sanders himself, and all of them at least as good as the material on Repercussions. Notable on this disc are the rhythmically slippery Feel Me, the repetitive but weirdly entrancing No Sunshine, and the rockish Headstrung; the program also includes club hits V and Victim Support.]” ~ Rick Anderson, All Music Guide
