Geocidal

"'Geocidal' is monolithic. 'Pure War' is like UK drum'n'bass kingpin Roni Size getting spiked with GHB and fed through a woodchipper, while 'Tenz' surges and crashes like a malfunctioning machine, Patton's chants, screams and whispers dragging it to its conclusion. '3-2-1 Civilisation' is most impressive, a cacophony that would make an appropriate soundtrack to the end of the world".

"Tētēma doesn't match the sheer impact of Patton's work with Fantômas or the breathless absurdity of Mr. Bungle, but Geocidal appears to be aiming for something deeper as it portrays a global culture that's not merely shrinking, but imploding on itself, and at its best Tētēma is just as intelligent and compelling as Patton's collaborations with John Zorn; hopefully Patton and Pateras will have more dangerous visions for us all in the future (if there is one)".
