mighty subbass drones, driving, energetic beats, wonderful piano lines, atmospheric keyboards, doomy guitars, occasional vocal work - pen fifteen is another journey into keef bakers world, where unequal musical styles like trip hop, electronica and even metal are used as baseplates and sometimes merge within a single note - just check out what starts as a distorted guitar and ends as clickncut in dead end. instead of eclecticism a logical extrapolation of varied influences is displayed, whether it is post-rock, intelligent dance music, dub... in the end they become one style that can only be called keef baker. 11 songs of melodic harshness - loud and powerful even in their quietest moments. expect your expectations to be confounded! cd2 light city - intended to be listened to without interference or pauses - a trip into sudorific clublife that keeps you moving for more than an hour. an astounding mix with well-placed increasing and decreasing speed, ranging from dubstep to techno to drum and bass to breakcore and back. this is keef as he sounds while performing live - a great addition to a phantastic album.
