Opis:
Brytyjski duet Hardknox to połączone siły ciężkich bitów Steve'a Proctor'a (aka Steve P., Skycutter, Immortal Minds) i wspaniałego głosu Lindy Layton. Od 1996r. para ma na koncie dwa single i jedną płytę. Owa wydana w 1999r. płyta zatytułowana po prostu Hardknox zawiera wiele ze wspomnianych wyżej ciężkich bitów, agresywnego big-beat'u, powalającego na kolana głosu Lindy oraz gościnny udział rapera Schooly D. Kawałki takie jak "Fire Like This", "Come in Hard", "Psychopath", "Coming Back With A Sword" nie zapadają w pamięć, ale wypalają w niej dziurę dla siebie. Jeśli lubisz ciężkie, głośne, mocne elektroniczne ganie, tej płyty musisz posłuchać.

Description:
"Steve Proctor and Lindy Layton have done a brilliant job creating a CD that is chock full of aggressive breaks. It may not be perfectly aligned but thats what makes it incredibly beautiful. Mad, hard, crazy. The standout track is definitely 'Coming Back With A Sword'. Very Edgy and the high pitched sounds chopping and sweeping later make for a few very intense moments. This is by far one of the most amazing CD's just going ballistic and rocking out..."

"Maybe they use looped beats, maybe it sounds a tad amature at times, but their are some decent bass riffs and beat manipulation which is admirable. And even though this album is heavily filtered and all lo-fi'd out, it still has a studio polished sound, as in it doesnt sound like it came of your buddies 8-track. Despite this cd's relative simplicity, Hardknox set out with a sound in mind and they hit the nail on the head. This CD is one of the hardest and abrasive electronic albums you'll ever find. Not to mention the songs are all quite catchy, which in itself is a difficult trait to incorporate into production. If you like really hard, loud, strong beats, this album is untouchable... It's got a really sick grungy sound, and its just great pumpup music...

If you are looking for an artistic journey, or are just stuck on an elitist pedastal and huff at simplicty, look elsewhere. But if you like the cut-up sound or just want something harder than Fatboy Slim, do yourself a favor and GET THIS CD."
