It's often reported that Johnny Rotten's favourite sounds as a youngster were made by Krautrock groups such as Amon Duul II and Faust. If so, he'd probably get off on the improvised rock-jazz generated by this young Norwegian trio, which makes a pretty convincing stab at melding motorick grooves with snarling punk energy. ‘Glass’ feels like mechanised industrial prog; ‘Descent’ has a lasciviously throbbing bassline that burbles up like crude oil in clean offshore regions; ‘Perpetual’ is a nasty little shuffl e based around a disgustingly filthy synth-squelch bassline; and the title track somehow merges aggressive blades of angular, post-punk guitar with keyboard wibbles that sound like the engines to Sun Ra's spacecraft in the movie version of Space Is The Place. Spontaneous rock often risks falling into meandering jam-band territory, but Cakewalk display an impressively tight grip of the reins – and at just over 30 minutes, this album never outstays its welcome.
