Named after Delia Derbyshire's low frequency oscillator, it is the electrifying bass oscillations of 'Wobbulator' where Magnetize
makes his intentions first felt on the 'Forced Vortex EP'. Also powered by brutish industrial drum muscle, and interspersed with
both white and wild noise, it is the introduction of melodious bells and warbled voices that make this track appeal to far more
than just leather clad basement dwellers. 'Overflux' meanwhile, is exactly what fans of Magnetize's earlier 12" on Templedog
would have hoped for - where the use of a wobbly lead continues, alongside a snappy electro drum track that offsets
measured, strained atmospherics and the sign of mammal activity flipping into the mix. Ed Devane (Touchin' Bass, Spacebar
Sentiments, Takeover) supplies a mega-mashed remix of 'Overflux' on the B1, merging microscopic shards of its original parts
to mischievous vocal snatches, which eventually progresses from a stuttered drum track into full on bass chaos, that has
already been road-tested to maximum effect in recent live sets of his. 'Scorney' is an outsider on this 12" for a number of
reasons; because it's the B2; because it is relatively sparse; and because it is the one track present that was made entirely
with an MPC 2000. Make no mistake, the rugged, rolling bass drum combined with the tearing, metallic percussion, is prime
Irish beef that finds gel in a range of interchanging riffs and subtle whistles of wind, in a fully satisfying finale to this Mantrap ep.
