Moving Hands Music Magazine: Paradise / Brazilian Nightmare
Paradise was never lost according to some people and when Cdatakill pushes out their new album called Paradise I couldn’t agree more. Zak Roberts a.k.a. Cdatakill presents a trip into the undiscovered country of breakcore. I never really listened much to this kind of music, but it has a nice and an on-going beat and it makes me want to hear more. The first song Vodka Spitter has got a, for me, typical jungle-break and some strings and a piano that makes some tones at calculated moments. I really like Resting in Paradise, Fucking Murders and Vodka Spitter (Tarmvred Remix), a song which is one of the hardest beating songs that I’ve ever heard. Shout outs to Tarmvred for including Swedish samples in this moving beatster! The thing is that this album is very good and I almost have to quote the promo-sheet because I couldn’t have said it better myself, “Zak Roberts signs with Paradise both a massive work of art and the definitive meeting point between innovative break beats, harsh industrial sounds and soulful compositions”. I can’t agree more! Also included is the sold out CD Brazilian Nightmare and that definitely shows you another side of Cdatakill! This is really darkened ambient and it’s filled with atmospheres and noises I never realised could be used in music and actually sound good! Songs that I will keep my ears locked on for some more time are Asleep and Nothing Can Damn My Soul (Jason Snell Remix). Since I’m quite new to this kind of music I must say that I’m amazed with what Zak has managed to do and he has also managed to catch me on to his adventures. I really want to know more about this sort of music and that’s something that makes me want to rate this album at 7 of 10. Most albums that I’ve heard in this genre were just too boring and made me want to put on something else, but it’s different with this one - good job!
