From deep in French Canada (well, really just Quebec) come Anachronicxp, an intriguing blend of hip-hop and electronic influences that are praised as the "music of childbirth"…a term we desperately hope hasn’t been skewed in translation. Nervomoteur is a quick taste of what Anachronicxp is putting out, using electronic instruments to drive a hip-hop based, powerful bass beat. Songs roll along with this foundation, as electric blips and beeps twist and swirl around it like a massively charged obelisk rising into the sky. But then they let it fall away into silence, before quietly starting the groove up again. Intermixed with the electric shocks and looming bass beats (the best of which can be found in "L’altercation") are tastes of real life, such as the dramatically chilling screams and worries thrown into "Recomposition." Nervomoteur is a beast of mixed influences, all of which create an interesting and unsettling musical composition.
