Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Unlike their Digital Hardcore label mates Atari Teenage Riot or EC8OR, Berlin's Fever don't speed by at 200 bpm in a blizzard of manic sound bites and rabid drum machines. Instead they favor midtempo hip-hop with gruff, deliberate vocals and the distortion turned way up--everything's completely saturated, as if the needle had been in the red during the entire recording session. Din-S.T. and Paul P.M. are determined to sound scary, though maybe their self-absorbed seriousness is the only point. Still, there's no denying the impact of dense, resolute tracks like "Black Around Me" and "Distill Your Brain." Fever aren't that different from the other Digital Hardcore bands after all: they just prefer clobbering you slowly and methodically rather than quickly. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

fever=bomb 20-speed+vocals.......1999-03-04

Fever is a bran-spankin new addition the the Digital Hardcore family. They may not be as fast as their lable mates(EC8OR, Bomb 20, Atari Teenage Riot,etc...) but just as intense. Their rap sytle vocals are all but lost in the confusion of their distorted beats and video game bass line. This duo explains that all rap isn't about stealing 80's songs. A must have for any DHR fan!!!

digital hardcore vs hip-hop.......1998-12-13

it has some of the typical dhr noises but throws a couple of new video game sounds out. the drum beats are more steady and not as noisy as other dhr but still noisy compared to any other electronic music. the entire album is "rapped" over in the style of a jamaican guy except without the accent. better than current pop stuff and good to see new stuff coming from dhr, but it is better to wait for the new atari teenage riot or to pick up patric catani's "100 decisions per second."
