The ''Hanged Man EP'' spans the current avant-garde of electronic dance freakishness. The A side attempts to contain ''It's a Carni Life'', a deep 10 minute motivator placed somewhere between ''Space Odyssey'' and ''I need Lithium''. ''Hanged Man'' on the flip presents a more straight forward digital funk ordeal hinting at, but dares not say, acid. Finally ''Rotwang'', named after the mad scientist out of Fritz Lang´s ''Metropolis'', makes you wonder if someone had transported you to your favorite summer festival at exactly the right moment without you noticing.
