Ambassador21 are a power noise project with a unique twist in the form of Natasha, the angered female vocalist. Not since the days of Atari Teenage Riot have I heard such raw, adrenaline pumped vocals. The ultra hard and super chaotic music behind tracks such as Batman vs Elvis are juxtaposed against short, slow, melodic breaks. The sampled guitar loops reminded me of the early Swamp Terrorists music. Legalize Death sports a great, trippy, break beat with screeching guitar samples, and Natasha’s sandpaper-like vocals. Delete the Elite features some rich, hair band sounding guitar loops, shared male (Roger Rotor) and female (Natasha) vocals, and a thick, staticy rhythm. The highlight of the CD is New Doctrine About Trinity II (feat Converter.) This slowly building piece begins with a low rumbling sound and spoken word samples which slowly fade as the tumbling, scratching beat is introduced. As the track progresses, some harsher, scary sounding synths are added in, building up to the pinnacle of the track when Natasha’s semi rough vocals are introduced and carry the track on to the end. Whereas I tend to steer away from most poser noise I found myself coming back to this CD again and again. Not every track was a winner, but the ones that I did enjoy, I enjoyed a lot.
