Legendary London based producer and grime veteran Terror Danjah strays away from his home at Planet Mu, with this album on Hyperdub which is nothing short of a masterpiece. Grandiose opener, aptly named 'Grand Opening' for its dramatic strings, epic choral roar and crescendoing cymbal crashes kicks things off, with crisp, cutting lyrics laid on top of the beat, heralding the start of the something tremendous with a smacking "blaow blaow!" Mz Bratt gets her say in radio friendly riddim 'This Year (Pro Plus)'. Going more minimal in the central section with "SOS" to old favourite 'Minimal Dub' the bleeping synthy haze does well to dispel some of the ardent fury present elsewhere, with an absence of lyrical input. But rest assured, Terror cranks up the pace again in delectably danceable 'Breaking Bad' and 'Sonar' which lead nicely in to the title track. As we near the end, everything gets shaken up with wistful musing lyrics, fidgety beats and the magnificent finale, 'Creepy Crawler' with a rousing Jukali style lyrical flow to finish things off.
