Early 20th century. Barbarism on an industrial scale. After the final
shots had rung out Europe was left a husk, a shell to be rebuilt. And
she did rebuild. Slowly, but surely, normality returned. Different
zones. Different ideologies. One Europe. Yet not everyone was happy.
Within this struggling continent there were those who saw the hand of
authoritarianism at the wheel, past criminals ruling and lands being led
back to dictatorship. The solution: the sub machine gun.
From Reason to Ritual is Rude 66´s most ambitious album to date.
Amsterdam´s premier electronic musician maps the rise and fall of
terrorism over two slabs of wax. Gruesome naivety, one that led to
countless deaths, is given an electro beat on the first record,
“Reason.” Warbling wave vocals from Ruud’s wife Shaunna tell a bitter
tale of paranoia and looming violence. That violence is truly realised
on the second record “Ritual.” Beats rain like shards of broken glass,
constricted acid and echo as the enemy closes in for the final hollow
defeat. An album that takes you from manifesto to death march.
