Binary Zero
From Here You Can See Everything (Alex Tronic)
Binary Zero may indicate a modern world where there is very little room for grey or fuzzy logic and listening to album ‘From Here You Can See Everything’ you get the same impression. Its a full on assault that barely lets up but its all the better for it.
It’s pretty relentless and by the end of the album you feel as though you have done a proper shift…but of course, in a good way. This is exactly where you have to picture the music in a club or at least with some friends as it is a bit full on for a quiet Sunday afternoon but in the right situation, its one you will return to time after time.
Related to Ives by birth, Binary Zero presents a far more adventurous musical approach and certainly one which will do more damage to the body’s nervous system but another thing that remains in common with the more famous act is undeniable musical talent. It may not be an album for everyday of the week but ‘From Here You Can See Everything’ should have a definite time and place in your weekly routine.

The debut album from Stuart Foxwell on Alex Tronic Records is disturbing techno filth. No rest for the wicked seems to be the main criteria. There are plenty of highlights but special mention must go to Electronic which uses pile driving beats and piercing high pitched notes to grind you down. Then there's the neon jack boot of The 5th Objective which samples footballer turned conspiracy theorist David Icke's saying "Out of these troubled times, our fifth objective a new world order can emerge". But mostly the album is about pushing sound to it's hardest. All The Stuff We Are has mysterious Middle Eastern synth that plays like some robotic belly dancer hypnotising before squelching into oblivion. Private John Doe rips open the Terminator's mind, a pulsating military march into madness. Maybe not for all tastes but still a thrill ride. Rick Fulton The Daily Record
