What Himawari has presented as their second full length offering on Rematter Music (Sub-Label of Low Res Records), is 11 songs of beauty, precision and electronic dreams. A vast journey to the peaks of technological display and valleys of emotional depth.
With almost four years having elapsed between "Pomposo" and Himawari's debut, "Mineral," the progress and evolution is so apparent on their latest effort that it makes one realize that time and essence are the greatest curators of all. All good things come to those who wait, indeed. A recording so rich with majestic production and intense subtleties, it absolutely qualifies as a beginning to end epic listening journey.
Detroit's Gr3yman, (Michael Madill of NPFC/19.5 Collective fame) along with pseudonymous vocalist Valerye Boybender, produced this long overdue 12" with two original vocal techno tracks and a remix apiece from Not Robo Boy (Himawari) and Kero (Shitkatapult, B.Pitch Control).
easily the best record yet on low res.yup,better than the venetian snares seven's.med ep.there,i said it.4 super crispy tracks that plunder and crush idm,jungle,and breakcore into one relentlessly good 12 inch.from the opening seconds of death's sadistic design,you know its sure to turn heads.pay attention as the track eerily morphs its way into a drunken game of quarters on a saturday night.wizjalkompromis starts of nice and glitchy and progresses to mash up the place with its constant change ups.don't mix out too early,the second break is sure to get the walls rattlin,and the asses shaking.flip for happy mechanical unit...a heavy roller complete with melodic synths and some super ill bass.finally,u r my survival closes the record out in proper style.tight drum and bass thats hard enough to make it into the bags of the breakcore ranks,but don't be surprised to find this one killin floors at drum and bass nights across the globe."

adjust, aka J$, aka the low res labelhead delivers four bangers from detroit.still carrying along in the techno vein as the kero 12 inch,this record sees low res once again return to its detroit techno roots.hard industrial techno is the only to describe it.while it may venture into electro or hardcore territory,maybe even idm, leaving some confused,this is just proper music done detroit style.ass.we like ass.this record has ass shake to it..shake your ass! why aren't you shaking your ass?

it was just a matter of time before detroit got the picture. LOW RES has known about KERO for years, and it seems absurd that its taken this long to release his work. KERO, a notorious figure in the windsor/detroit metro, has been redefining the rules of the game for a while now, most recently of which dropping the flurry in germany with releases on SHITKATAPULT and B-PITCH CONTROL. a twisted production style that allows KERO to chameleon from the direct to the indirect, forging a layer of detail both academically unprecedented and fiendishly unpredictable. anyway you slice it, its dark, its complex, its the furious funk from the next level. a bold, yet calculated thrill seeking release for the lucky number 013.

"...Concept albums have almost always had a bad rap. Accused of pretentiousness, overwrought instrumentals, over-ponderous lyrics, and topographic oceans, the genre has almost died a nearly silent death. "Almost" because Davros has brought the concept album back, and made it relevant..."
the debut release on LOW RES. released summer of 1998, mastered at national sound by ron murphy - pressed at archer record pressing. ron thought we would get arrested for this release for sure, glad we didnt. these tracks were actually recorded as far back as 1996 as leftover tracks from the original ADJUST vs. THEEQ demo... later to resurface as a sum of the parts on the ADJUST vs. THEEQ ver.II mixtape. the more time and distance we put between ourselves and this release, the better.
