 The (bc) I believe stands for Before Canada. Artifakts was originally intended to be the minimalist rnale to a deep career in the reld. Living in Detroit, the Plastikman (Richie Hawton) had only planned on a three record career. Deportation to Canada in the middle of recording led to a change in head space and the diversion that created the wonderful Consumed LP released earlier this year. Hawton decided that he would still conclude the trilogy by releasing the rve tracks bc and a few odds and ends. The tracks themselves are varied, rough-edged and interesting, but without the typical architecture of his normally well planned cerebral assault. Skizofrenic is at once one of the most menacing of tunes he's released, but a curiosity in the end. Like sushi, the minimal shifts in beat and momentum (which is all the Plastikman does) is an acquired taste, and lovingly prepared. You could alter your self permanently by buy this on a whim and playing it non stop for a week or so.

What can be said about Kid Koala that goes beyond the simple one word statement of "brilliant"? 
It's interesting to read from this band's official site that they evolved from an act of betrayal. Being completely honest, they talked about how they were burdened with the weight of keeping a secret from the singer...
