It is a tough old world out there in music land and none is more tougher and more competitive than the dance/trance/techno/tripno scene. With more musicians being able to produce their sounds from desktops using cakewall and fruity loops etc, it can be a tough nut to crack. I do however, feel that Anigman brings in a cross section of pc based technologies and also real world instruments, but I leave myself open to be corrected on that, probably by the man himself.

Anigman is an enigmatic character when it comes to his music, and I feel he is quite happy with that. What you don’t get is the expected James Brown backbeat on redbull nor the ‘take me higher’ instrument build up. If you rolled up Beck, Ozzy Ozbourne, Ian Paice and dare I say it Moby your end product would probably be an Anigman.

Low Noise/ High Output takes you on a trip of a hard edged industrial trance frenzy fusion. My highlights on this CD are – ‘Lunar’, if you turn the intro up high enough on this track your floor will vibrate. ‘Menace to society ‘slips into a more commercial mold and one I think could go the furthest in a commercial sense.

‘Roughed’ up is a bitch slap in the face and a kick to the bollox. ‘Blaster of reality’ is a bounce around the room track with no visible barriers or structure but works well. My main concern is that there are to many tracks on this CD, yes I said to many.

I know that seems an odd thing to say , but not always is more the best. You need these tracks to be played over and over to get the hook in the listener. I would say a select 6 would be far more effective than a 16 offering. Drip-feed your work to the listener, think of it as foreplay. Give them a little tickle with the knowledge that there will be more but not just yet. Anybody wanting something very original and different to include on the ipod – look no further.
