Porter Ricks: Tomas Koner, Andy Mellwig. Techno Animal: Kevin Martin, Justin Broadrick. Composer: Justin Broadrick. JK Flesh (Justin Broadrick of Godflesh renown) and the Bug (Kevin Martin) are Techno Animal, British avant-garde dub/hip-hop aggressors. Thomas Koener and Andy Mellwig are Porter Ricks, German techno/dub technicians. Pitted against one another's supplied sounds on the awesome SYMBIOTICS, the two-by-two teams present their modern spin on the revered dub tradition of the soundclash. On alternating tracks, Porter Ricks and Techno Animal crunch down the other' s sounds in their own distinct creative appliances. PR's "Polytoxic 1" is an amazing opener, with TA's muddy bass and sludgy electronics compressed into a hulking prototype of cybernetic techno-funk. Salvaging rusted synth lines from TA's wrecked frame, PR's mad scientists erects a mighty tower of dub ("Polytoxic") and constructs the lethal, sputtering techno engine of "Ionic." TA flexes sinister hip-hop musculature punctured by needles of white noise and rattling low end ("Bio-Morphium," "Monosphate") and bolts of shivering dub-style echo damage ("Anthrazite"). In keeping with the disc's title, each of the eight tracks presents a truly symbiotic interaction of Techno Animal and Porter Ricks' individual impulses. A superior collaboration all around.
