DOWNLOAD: South Central - Higher State of Consciousness (Josh Wink cover)
Adding a few air horns to a pop punk band does not rave music make, a realization exhaustively evinced by Klaxons, their followers, and hordes of Justice clones. So imagine my surprise when Brighton rockers South Central managed to push one the best known rave tracks, Josh Wink's "Higher State of Consciousness," so far into the red I had to remove my head phones to gasp, "What manner of beast is this?" Like an electrified icepick to the brain (or Justice's "Stress" with sadistic qualities), South Central aim for the ear drums with increasingly intense swathes of vocals/synth/guitar/drum machine noise roughly carved into the shape of Josh Wink's classic track. Not for the faint of spirit; you must be this crazy to ride.
Sounds like: Whitehouse gone rave, a pissed off Prodigy, Justice possessed
