After quite some years in the long grass, hardcore supertalent Wouter Vonk returns to the stage as Sidephex and releases nothing less than a full-length album. Dominated by the mighty 4/4 bass drum, Reinstated starts as a dark techno voyage, encounters some EBM flavor and acid excursions along the way, before increasingly hardcore beats and industrial harshness creep in for a crushing finale. A high bid for the dance floors, but also a conceptually convincing album for the electronic lover. Ultrasonic , Destroy and Chaos Returns , bringing this album to its noisy conclusion. Reinstated takes you from around 125 to over 150 bpm in the course of 70 minutes, and it won t loosen its grip on you from the first squeak. If it was Sidephex proclaimed goal to be reinstated (!) as a major player on the scene, it s been well accomplished.
