[REVIEW] Gigantic Brain - The Invasion Discography

NOTE: Here's a review I wrote in 2004 and I find it funny that it's still impossible to describe the music on this CD. No one has copied the style since and I doubt anyone ever will. It's too bad we'll likely never see another release from GB, but maybe you poor bastards who missed it the first time will be blessed with a re-issue at some point. It's still a fucking unique, brilliant, misanthropic, and geeky slab of drum-machine fuelled hyper-grind and this CD is most definitely worth hunting down ASAP.

Review by undeadair

This is everything you know about grind gone horribly wrong in the best possible way. From the hyper-space blast beats to the sick alien screams of pan-dimensional destruction, Gigantic Brain conquers your headspace and makes you an unwitting thrall in their campaign of utter annihilation of all known life in the span of an hour. This disc of intergalactic grind is pieced from all previously conceived anti-material and as such, there is little "flow" to be found here. What you will find however, is fleeting stability until being sucked into a black-hole and spat out to a completely unique multi-verse of aural chaos. If you can survive the entire trip, you are truly among the few; the elite who can claim to have the impenetrable strength of will to withstand such a mind-blowing experience. With that said... you will still become food for the Gigantic Brain. Buy and/or die anyway!
