It's entirely indicative of the manner in which [NakedLunch] is run that the Irish label's first release in the best part of a year arrives with little prior fanfare, despite the fact it features two vicious electro cuts from Detroit's DJ Stingray. The Drexciya affiliate is of course no stranger to [NakedLunch] and some would argue Sherard Ingram reserves his best work for the label operating under the Stingray313 alias (see last year's NKKtwo_2 / NKKK4_2 for compelling proof) and the Armchair Psychiatrist 12" is likely to strengthen such an opinion. There's a malevolent feeling to the growling, unpredictable bassline of "Strontiumdog 2" that wills you into desiring the chance to unleash it onto an unsuspecting dancefloor, whilst the title track is effectively a dub version with Ingram implementing an insectile wash of noise.
