"Had this on a classic tape from about 90-91, push the limits of your soundsystem and let it wreck your home…”
IJK GLA / SOUTH LDN

YOU'RE LIKE A SCALPEL, I'M LIKE A FLICK KNIFE is a 17 minute beast of rave memorial grimescapes from the ICEMAN JUNGLIST KRU. Following releases on The Tapeworm and Industrial Coast, the Kru return with a slab of dense last-train-home drones and disembowelled beats for Brachliegen Tapes. Basses pulse and whir against smeared soundscapes, edging on the precipice of the drop before descending into a brutal breakbeat attack. Like a stunted Source Direct tune filtered through decaying memories, ‘You’re Like a Scalpel…’ carves itself into the dark netherworld of the come-down.

The Kru have previously dropped under aliases 1-800-ICEMAN, Chino Balance & Ryun Ehlke, Coke Wizard & Chill Meres, Grimescapes, Roadman DSP, 1012, and for this tape link up with DEGRADATION for the b-side’s dub. Degradation mangle, squeeze and fuck the source material through machine sludge. The surgical stem operation emerges as a bleached version of itself: the ghost at the rave, egregiously shuffling with two broken legs. The two sides combine to create a bap of sullen abstract tones, slopped in a hazy brown sauce of mongrel memories.

YOU’RE LIKE A SCALPEL, I’M LIKE A FLICK KNIFE is the follow up to Iceman’s ‘Mashed on Pills’ and continues the Kru’s deep dive into the subterranean ravescapes of Britain’s hidden reverse, calling to mind early Hyberdub, DJ Die and No U Turn’s digitised evil. Pick apart the stitches, and bathe in the cartilage...
