DEADJUMP - Virtual Masturbation of a Bastard Leader

Songs: 14  Time:  68:58

From what I can gather Virtual Masturbation of a Bastard Leader by Brazilian artist Dead Jump is a best of / remix CD.  The sound of Dead Jump is a combination of hard electro dance and intense cyber-tech madness.  Each of the 14 tracks are loaded with both vocal and music samples and each track goes through a variety of changes, making them extremely interesting to listen to.  Try to imagine a fusion between mid-period Front Line Assembly, newer Biopsy, and Skinny Puppy and you'll have Faces.  Of the three mixes of this piece, the Cut-Throat Remix seems to be the more furious, whereas the Bastard Re-Mix tends to be more laid back and less aggressive.  Infected (Death Mix) is another great track which implements short guitar snippets amongst dense rhythms, raspy vocals, and spastic sequences.  Aghast View take this piece, remix it, and add even more depth to the beats while bringing the synth patterns more towards the front of the mix.  The title track, VMBL is presented in two parts, with the first relying heavily on a slow, rolling percussion line, quirky sequences, and whispered vocals.  The second part adds a harder rhythm, more complex beats, and more accessible sequences.  With it's slight Middle Eastern flavor, Broken (Just Punished) is reminiscent of Delerium, but with a bit more edge to the programming.  Front Runner remixes Mortal Plague into a staticy electro piece with vocoded vocals, crisp synth patterns, and choppy beats.  With the release of Virtual Masturbation… Dead Jump has easily proven themselves as yet another great band to come out of South America.
