from an OtherMusic review, links to another cut to d/l:

DALEK Absence (Ipecac)
"Culture for Dollars"
<http://realaudio01.datapipe.net:8080/ramgen/othermusic/culturef.rm>
"Ever Somber"
<http://realaudio01.datapipe.net:8080/ramgen/othermusic/eversomb.rm>

Forget funky loops, machine gun tongued rhymes, or cartoon samples, Dalek have never been your typical underground hip-hop crew. Named after their MC, this New Jersey trio are more than likely to seek inspiration from a Faust or My Bloody Valentine record than some long-lost funk obscurity. That said, their third album (second on Mike Patton's Ipecac imprint) is by far their most abrasive. Amidst simple yet gritty beats, factory noises grind, wheeze and whir like a room full of circular saws. In this setting DJ Still's skilled scratching is shriller than the sound of a dental drill. Meanwhile, Dalek raps about his disdain for hip-hop's commercial culture, politics, organized religion, and all things apocalyptic. Not for your backpacker, this sh*t is heady, dark and ominous.
