Saturday: Blotted Science - Synaptic Plasticity

     For your Saturday song, we're going to switch over from the furious assault of Inferi to the dense technicality and shreddy virtuosity of Blotted Science.

     I've written about this instrumental three-piece before, praising their latest album The Animation of Entomology, but as is so often the case, Blotted Science's latest work isn't their only record, giving me some tasty back catalogue to delve into.

     And delve I have, sitting down and spending some time with Blotted Science's previous effort, their 2007 debut LP The Machinations of Dementia. I've changed my mind a couple of times, but I just keep coming back to the idea that, as is also so often the case, you should probably start this adventure off at the start with album opener "Synaptic Plasticity". It'll give you a pretty good idea of what kind of madness awaits you on the rest of the album, and if your brain hasn't be scrambled by the end of it, you're probably ready for The Machinations of Dementia.
