Civilisation is a slow builder of a tune, using eerie pads and reverbed vocals to build tension until an unfeasibly large bassline drops. Some comments from the dancefloor have indicated that the tune is "evil". Nuff said.
Roach Bomb is more of a dance floor smasher, heavier than the flipside, but less of a technical sound. This tune is getting hammered in the clubs by Lethal Rhythm DJs already.
Avoiding the cliche DnB samples, Fangle included recordings of live drums and instruments, producing a fresh clear sound, carried through by mixing at vintage analogue studio Tardis, Sydney. Mastered by Neil Devine at Masterpiece in London, the 12" has most definitely captured the fat sound of Fangle.
Civilisation has inspired a unique film clip , shot on Super 8, combining the warm and genuine colour of film (no video thanks) with a visual tempo, vibe and storyline to match the sound.
