Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
With their debut album Thrust dedicated to proponents of speed including UK bike legend Barry Sheen and a swathe of F1 drivers, it's no surprise to discover that the debut from Dukebox chief whip Doug Hart and ex-Jack Dangers sampling charge hand Paul Freeguard is a nitro-fuelled mix of sweaty breaks and low riding bass. The journey angle is reinforced by a tracklisting segued with key touches and the occasional atmospheric into a continuous blend, which drifts from the opening breakbeat pressure of "Funky Paradise" into the two part "Mad Cow", which backflips from drum machine patterns into a lost-it acid-fuelled percussion rumbler. Although competent throughout, this album is at its best in the synth interspersed electro of the closing three tracks, the grooves of "Two Lane Blacktop", "Boom De Boom" and "Tape Recorded Experiments" hustling pitch-modded melodics into the sequence grooves, like tyres squealing against the tarmac of the groove. --Kingsley Marshall

Electronic American Graffiti,
By A Customer
This review is from: Thrust (Audio CD)
Chamber's Thrust album is a proud moment in UK electronica, with its hot rod artwork you get the feeling this was made for the road, a audio road movie, the album gives you electronic sunsets going down, headlights burning and references to the best of Americana. Chamber give us breaks, beautiful squekches and bleeps for sure, but not once during this album do you ever feel that they think this is clever to use a computer, unlike most electronica this album just says Chamber use their gadgets to give them what they want, the album is musical, but not muso, it's more that all the noises and beats tell the story, an American Graffiti for the new millenium. The album opens with the haunting sounds of Funky Paradise, then once your in, your in for all 50 minutes, your caught with your foot down with the fantastic electro backed noise of Mercedes Bends, tricked by cinematic romance of Two Lane Blacktop, and hit by speed cameras with the amazing dragstrip driven Boom De Boom, and you are left singing your two word hearts out to Smack Dab and Electric Booster. Chamber deliver a screaming V12 of an album, file next to anything from the history of electronica with pride and let's see if Radiohead and Madonna find Chamber for there next studio workout. A shimmering debut.
