Title: Scar Tissue

Rated:
Last year has been excellent for several bands and music projects to start a comeback and the return of LEXINCRYPT a.k.a. Justin Cameron, newly signed to Crunch Pod, has been one of the most remarkable ones. No doubt, one half of the too early gone cult-project SYMBIONT hasn't forget his amazing abilities, with which he could release two full-length albums on DSBP in collaboration with SLC's Backscatter Records. 'Scar Tissue' is a logical and pretty much business-related EP taken out of Justin's last years' album 'Of Unsound Mind', his comeback release on Crunch Pod. As usual for an EP, which is intended to offer alternative stuff for DJ's, promoters, etc., you'll get mostly stuff, which counts to the rather straight and danceable oriented compositions of Justin. The impression of his 3 full-length albums released throughout the years, which all offer their depth featured through an ominous, classic Dark Electro-like sound-design, flies a bit under the radar through such EP releases like this one. 10 tracks have received a slot on this opulent EP and all are remix contributions, for the most part provided by Justin's dear label comrades like SINSECT, MANGADRIVE, or the Crunch Pod-state-of-art-project, Mr. Ben Arp's C/A/T. Other important people and friends in Justin's career found a free slot too, LITTLE SAP DUNGEON (which offer contrary to the main direction a harsh, Downtempo-like interpretation of the title-track...), XIESCIVE (That is the new, follow-up project to BOUNDLESS, alias Trevor 'Xon' Weeks...), or such long unheard projects like C2 (the harsh Powernoise side-project of CONTROL.ORG), or FILAMENT 38 (between all of these rather Powernoise/TBM-inspired projects a nice variation through their inclusion of heavy guitar riffs...). It doesn't need to rate the winner of this remix 'contest' on here, as this turns rather into a matter of personal preferences. MANGADRIVE have received the opening crown on this EP and are providing the most assessable work on here, which should be able to flame the dancefloors, while LITTLE SAP DUNGEON may represent the nearest of the above mentioned ingredients normally discovered in LEXINCRYPT's compositions. It's a pity, that Justin himself doesn't offer anything originally composed for this EP, like an unreleased tune, so this may alters a bit the impression of a new and cheerful listener. However, this stuff still rules.
