Uberbyte - DOS(2009)

Uberbyte were formed in 2007 when singer Uberman's(aka Richard Pyne) old band Killing Miranda split. He had been kicking around the idea of a solo project for a while but instead formed Uberbyte, the other members are Ubergirl, Carbonel, Deadboy and Alpha. In 2008 they signed to record label Crunch Pod and soon released SIC in the same year. Since then they've been on tour with Combichrist, XP8, Grendel, Faderhead, Nachtmahr as well as many more swiftly gaining fans as they hit towns and cities across the nation and beyond.

Under The Cross is a brilliant way to kick start this album. Its danceable layered well and the transitions flow really well into each other and a good way to get you into this release.
The next track is one of my favourites on this one Say What??. It starts off with a brilliant quote from cult classic Pulp Fiction making it unmistakable from any other song. I would have have danced to it many times, I never tire of it. Automatic win! This dance-ability is continued into the rest of the album. My other 2 favourites on this are Industrial Bitch and Last Human. They're both massive live tracks making the crowd(myself incl. recently) dance. I cant pick anything out about these 2 tracks that I don't like.
One track that has slowly grown on me is (Lets Put The Fun Into)Fundamentalist, at first I wasn't too sure on it but it starts to really grow on you. It's a lil bit noisey, its got a good beat, sometimes bizzare quotes in it along with a couple of fun ones.

5*'s
Very very danceable tracks, some track you've got to give a chance to grow on you if you don't like them at first but they will and you'll learn to love them. This proves that they deserve to be the biggest seller on their label. I have and will continue to recommend this album to friends.
