''The Signs Within'' is Drunken Kong's debut album on Tronic, featuring 12 original tracks including two collaborations with label boss Christian Smith and talented Victor Ruiz. With this work Japanese duo prove they are here to stay with some top notch techno. Whilst keeping the groove alive, they deliver some punching bass lines, rolling subs and deep synths.
Each track has a message of its own. The Signs Within, Life We Knew and The Rhythm giving us that hypnotic, infectious and sometimes deliciously sinister vocal stab. Secret Garden and Perfect Dominance both take it deep, dark and twisted with a serious fearless low end and eerie synth stabs. Grooviness can be felt in the funky bass laid down in Mission and As It, whilst rounding off the LP, they take it slow, mellow and mesmerizing with A New Day.
The whole production takes you through a variation of sounds and textures, appealing to many musical palates. Creating a selection of tracks which are not all for the dance floor, but unique in their own way, whilst acting as a perfect complement to one another on this LP.
