The dub version really blows my mind. Darkness with an atmosphere what can come only from Surgeon's mind. 'A' track is also good. Hammered by many djs!

A side is a BEAST of a track. B-Side (more abstract style) is cool, and has a time and place.

The last few years have seen an odd and largely unsucessful set of releases from Surgeon. Starting with "Compliance Momentum" erring a little too far on the side of sleepy minimalism, Breaking The Frame spent a little too much time on the chin-stroking end of "techno-dub-step" and ambience and not enough of the industrial workouts one would expect, and then - this year - the BMB live release was half an hour of mostly pointless noise. Terrible.Well thankfully this 12" is excellent. Fixed Action Pattern is a return to form. 7 pummeling minutes of abrasive industrial rhythmic excess that continues to twist and turn - there are NO drops, the kick stays kicking throughout - then on the flip side a suprisingly effective atmospheric dub take recalls Bad Hands with its huge bass and noise washes. Recommended but still not enough music though: Child continues to be frugal with his releases.

After a rather quiet period after his all encompassing 2011 album, "Breaking The Frame", Surgeon has been keeping a rather low profile, from a production point of view at least. Now, in the middle of the summer, first he announced a six volume series named SRX of music he made between 1994 and 1996, with all material remastered from the original tapes. Not only that, there are also news of a collectors edition retrospective of the British Murder Boys opus, in the wake of the recently released "Live In Tokyo" EP on Downwards. In the mean while, he found time to revisit Token, a label he graced already in the past, when recording a remix for Grovskopa's Sex And Violins. Now, for his proper debut, he opts for a two tracker, which essentially contains two variants of the same track.The A Side original is precisely the sort of charring & scorching, peak time wall shaker you'd expect when Surgeon gears up for the dance floor. Tremendous drums, eddying and swirling loops bouncing all over like a maniac in a straightjacket attempting to flee his room, all coated with rusty bass that at times sounds like it was filtered through a grinder. Pure awesomeness, nothing more to add. Anthony Child producing heavy hitting techno music. After twenty years of actively devastating dance floors, this man is still on a roll. This track is a high octane beast that'll make plenty fists do the windmill motion.Flip it over and you've got a dub edit of the original. Basically, this is a hard 'n' rusty off-kilter offering, that might move slowly, but it progresses with menace. Imagine Tommy Four Seven's remix of Oscar Mulero's Cave, Regis' master piece Blinding Horses and the darker, more introspective moments of Surgeon's last album. OK, now let them have sexual intercourse during a pagan ritual, and this would be the designated progeny. There is so much industrial hiss, immense reverb action and roaring that I can only say that it all comes across as sounds like only satan's guardian dogs could make. If you liked stuff like Regis' intense "Turin Versions" twelve incher, especially the Blinding Horses piece or some of the slower, rhythmically fractured British Murder Boys material, and even the latest Samuel Kerridge effort on Blueprint, my bet is that you will adore this as well. So sinister, distorted and downright filthy, it actually makes one feel good about pissing off the neighbors. Degenerate art at its best and committed to wax.Once again, hats off Anthony Childs. I have stopped counting how many times have I actually said that. Surgeon and Token - doing unspeakable things to your ear drums!
