About This Album
Equally admired and despised, Campag Velocet's debut is a mess. It's not easy trying to recapture that loose fit of Madhester with the sonic grain of a band grinding glass with busted molars, but Campag succeed just as much as they disappoint. More often than not, the arrangements regularly sound like they are eviscerating the very music scenes they're celebrating: Pete Voss ignites like an off-key Ian Brown getting beaten with Johnny Rotten's stick and there's a ping of rage waiting behind every twisted, preposterous verse ("Spin the bottle play sardines"). Just wait, though. "Skin So Soft" is "Gravity Grave"-era Verve coming home after a heady night of serial killing; "Vito Satan" rumbles along with -- face it -- one of the most understated hooks of 1999, but points eliminated for a sound bordering on Space Monkeys demos and titling songs with Oxford-educated porn star aliases like "Cacophonous Bubblegum." ~ Dean Carlson, All Music Guide
