It Just Is Conceived in New Jersey from its emerging DIY scene from the late ‘90s, cult hop-hop trio DÄLEK were known as pioneers over the last fifteen years or so of an intriguing sound which fused a blend of progressive hip-hop artistry supported by a rhythmic backdrop consisting of sonic experimentation through noise music and dark ambient (they would be dubbed by journalists as what would happen when you mix Public Enemy and My Bloody Valentine). Their singularity would be highlighted in four defining milestone full-length albums released on Mike Patton’s Ipecac Recordings (one of them being their “Absence” masterpiece LP from 2005), along with live actions where the band would support the likes of Tool and The Melvins, and even collaborate with the likes of artists such as Faust. In Spring 2015 mastermind MC Dälek (a.k.a. Will Brooks, with the blessing of ex-member/co-producer Oktopus) revived DÄLEK after a hiatus with a new lineup which now includes DJ rEk and Mike Swarmbots and are now preparing to release their new album “Asphalt For Eden” which will be the first official DÄLEK release since their last full-length, 2009’s “Gutter Tactics”. “Asphalt For Eden” sees a new creative peak for DÄLEK and will bring a new awareness for this cult hip-hop entity now resurrected once again and ready to show a formidable display of true hip hop artistry and experimentation through their new album and the plethora of touring the band have planned in support of it. A band which many see as one of the most genuine underground DIY hip hop icons. *PRE-ORDER CUSTOMERS: Orders are expected to begin shipping in early/mid May, 2016.

thebilljim Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 That's the variant I grabbed as well. Really curious about what this is gonna sound like, since Oktopus is no longer a member...but that Police State Is Nervous single that dropped awhile back was solid, and I'm sure this will be too.

thebilljim Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 Ooooh....this is good. Definitely still has that grimey, noisy production that is about 60% of what I like about Dalek in the first place. Definitely excited to get this in a few months.

helsabot Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 The single is sooooo damn good...I ordered a powder blue right away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebilljim Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 $6.22 for cheapest shipping, but the LP itself is priced at $15, so all together it comes out to still a perfectly reasonable price of $21.22 shipped, which is at worst what you'd pay in a brick and mortar store.

LordZagry Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I know it's not the right thread nor the right format but it seems that no one buys the last iconAclass album (exclusively on tape), MC Dalëk side project : https://deadverse.com/product/iconaclass-changing-culture-with-revolvers-cassestte/seriously, this album is damn good.

Just Us Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Damn, they can't do wrong. Through and through a killeralbum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebilljim Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 Just finished spinning my copy. Sounds great, looks pretty...everything I typically want in a record.I had some question as to how much I would enjoy Dalek without Oktopus doing production; turns out the answer is "as much I did all the previous records."
