Moveknowledgement - Pump Down !!!

Moveknowledgement se vračajo s četrtim studijskim albumom naslovljenim "Pumpdown". Po odmevnem hiphop/dub eksperimentu "Listen to Nebukadnezar" in seriji uspešnih elektronsko obarvanih impro koncertov v sklopu projekta Moveknowledgement FreePop Orchestra, je peterica stopila na naslednjo stopnico svoje eklektične ustvarjalne poti. Četudi naslov "Pumpdown" zveni kot nekaj kar bi izšlo v času, ko sta se srečala hip hop in rave, je glasba vse prej kot usmerjena v preteklost. Tokrat so se dub-ovski efekti in kompleksni aranžmaji umaknili močnim kitarskim rifom in bolj prvinskim ritmom, rezultat pa so nekatere njihove avtorsko najmočnejše pesmi doslej. Skozi besedila in tudi vizualno prezentacijo še vedno seva njihova značilna sci-fi estetika, bizarni retro-futurizmi in new-agerska mistika, k temu pa so dodali krepko dozo rock' n' rolla. Po mnenju benda je največja kvaliteta albuma "Pumdown" dejstvo, da ga je užitek igrati v živo in zato si obetajo zabavno turnejo po slovenskih festivalih in klubih. "Sex, drugs and UFOs!"

Moveknowledgement are back with their 4th studio album "Pumpdown". After their well received experimental hip hop/dub record "Listen to Nebukadnezar" and a series of successful improvised electronic concerts under the banner of their Moveknowledgement FreePop Orchestra side project, the band is taking the next step in their eclectic career. If the title "Pumpdown" sounds like something that might have come out in the late 80s when hip hop met rave, the music on the album is far from retro. The heavy dub effects and complex arrangements now move aside to huge guitar riffs and primitive drumming, and in many ways some of the band's best songwriting. There is a large dose of rock n' roll added to the signature sci-fi, retro-future, new age aesthetic that is still present in their lyrics and album art. Moveknowledgement have said that "Pumpdown" is made to be played live. Seeing how the songs work well on stage and are fun to play, they're looking forward to touring the festivals and clubs this year. "Sex, drugs and UFOs!"
