The first sonic salvo from their forthcoming sophomore opus 'Mystery Theatre', 'Impact' is a no-nonsense dancefloor anthem. It's a sound-clash between the themes from Bonanza and Grandstand with El-Eye and Probe Mantis' catching the listener in a verbal crossfire of machine-gun raps; that veer from the sublime ('I counter your kata with high calibre chatter / shatter your tonearm and turntable platter') to the ridiculous ('Run tell your mum I'm hung well / this one holds weight like dumbells').

Aspects pals Little Barrie reimagine the original as a full on rock workout harking back to the likes of The Sonics or Dick Dale, featuring Barrie's hard-edged guitar and Wayne's bone-shattering drums resulting in the surely garage-rock / hip hop anthem! B-side 'Wayback's Neptunesesque drums will have you marvelling over what can be accomplished by Specify and his trusty sampler, as well as introduce you to the incredible human beat-box talents of Monkey Moo.

Moving on to the main course - 'Mystery Theatre' is an album unhindered by trends, drawing inspiration from the past to create new musical forms. Beatmeister Specify explains, “To understand our music you've got to imagine Hip-Hop existed in the 60’s. We use analogue production values and psychedelic song writing to create our own type of sound; 60’s rap!” El Eye adds; “We make pirate music. We’re pirates, sailing along plundering genres for their soul, assimilating their funk then we’re moving on to the next port.” Joining Aspects on their voyage are kindred spirits The Bees who supply the Beach Boys-style harmonics for the chorus of the sun-drenched 'Off The Lip', and Little Barrie again who contribute raw soul power and intricate guitar work on lonely-hearts anthem “Soul Sister”.

'Mystery Theatre' has all the ingredients required to be a future classic. So, quiet please ladies and gents, the curtain is about to rise…
