Matthieu Mootz is a small, pudgy German who can drop audible A-Bombs like nobody's business. Man, when i saw him in Modulations and heard his music, i was hooked, much like i have been with a whole bunch of other artists. Anyway, I like finding ungodly, demonic drum'n'bass like this anywhere at all. Mootz' gonna be an influence on the way i do my music for a long time....

when i heard this album first time, i though my speakers are broken or sumthing coz every sound was totally *ucked up. well, my speaker were ok, it was this rekkid. most distorted, apocalyptic and freaked out drum+bass i've heard. if u like no u-turn and other dark labels (like prototype etc.) you wanna have this album. check also other (position) chrome stuff. wikkid, wikkid!!

"Low Profile Darkness" is the most terrifying musical experience I've ever heard. My ears are still ringing. Yeah I liked it, can't wait to hear the new one.

If you like a lot of noise and a lot of darkness in your drum and bass, then Panacea's "Low Profile Darkness" has what you are looking for. His music is about as distorted as music can get. Sometimes this "noise" actually drowns out the growling basslines and this happens to be the downfall of this CD- too much noise and not enough bass.

Techstep/terrorstep at it's very best. Dark, moody, brooding jungle. This is one of my favorite disks...

LOW PROFILE DARKNESS (1997)

by PANACEA

The vandalized police car on the cover is a clue to the dark sounds contained on Panacea's first album. 'Low Profile Darkness' is a collection of distorted and mechanical tracks that might appeal to fans of industrial music and hardcore electronics. It has a sort of 1990s electronic dystopia sound to it. There are no lyrics of course, except for a couple of samples here and there. The drum machine programming is very aggressive with and the keyboard lines are very simple. There are some sound effects that keep a sense of tension throughout. It makes me think of movies like Demolition Man, Judge Dredd, or Strange Days. I could see how somebody might think that all the tracks sound alike and it is true that a lot of them utilize the same sounds. This doesn't bother me since I usually just listen to the album all the way through, basically playing it as one long track that has some faster parts and other more atmospheric parts. In my opinion it is Panacea's best record.

DJs may want to take note that the double vinyl edition is missing many of the tracks on the CD.

The darkest, dirtiest, grittiest, most disgusting, disturbing,

baby eating, fire breathing jungle/drum and bass ever conceived.

I for one endorse this album wholly, and enthusiastically.

Get it, nuff said.

This is the best dark drum and bass album produced.
