This is the most pissed up, drugged up, headfuck of a record that I’ve heard in a very long time, it makes The Prodigy sound like they’ve got The X Factor. Londoner David McCarthy is IDC, and for “Imaginary Bones” he’s drafted in Lo Fidelity Allstars frontman Phil Ward, who does an incredible job on the vocals, definitely comes across like someone you wouldn’t want to bump into, as he goes from leery dribbling grins to spitting sneers, repeatedly slurred ranting “Don’t you know who I think I am”, over very powerful pounding techno that’s got a certain mid 90’s Frankfurt feel. Layering keyboard riffs, stabs and a powerful kick keep building the tension, as the vocals get more & more fucked, think Sean Ryder on a 5 day bender. Doing acid whilst listening to IDC’s “Imaginary Bones” is not advisable. There’s also a dub for a heads down no nonsense mindless boogie.
