hardcore

Cheese Greater is enormous in the way that only music that has absolutely no interest in being subtle can be. Big, crashy drums arrive first and establish the general principle – that this track is going to be large, loud, and in charge – whilst a screeching synth leadline provides melodic content of a similarly uncompromising character. The tempo sits slightly slower than peak drum and bass, which gives everything a bit more weight and menace. And then, as if to prove a point, a string section turns up. This is either brilliant or ridiculous, and the correct answer is both simultaneously. The result is boisterous, driving, intensely energetic, and rather good.
