About This:
Victory Pill is the collaborative name for Jim Davies and Pete Crossman, the former a guitarist of Pitchshifter and the latter a master of beats and synths. This sophomore album comes three years after their self-titled debut record. 'The Digital Divide' sounds new but familiar and draws comparison to the sound of 90s mega band The Prodigy. This is explained, as Davies was part of the band during their 'Fat Of The Land' period. The Digital Divide blurs the line between electronic and live instrumentation, and as always, Davies’ imaginative and original guitar sounds and performance are absolutely outstanding. There really is nobody else on this planet doing what Jim’s doing. 
The digital divide tells of the band’s disassociation towards today’s generation and being unable to relate to or be inspired by. This fact is highlighted in “Generation Waste” which finds Davies stating that he’s “been born 22 years too late”. Guest vocals by Graeme Cornies of Canadian band Triptaka are a welcome asset and the combination of his and Davies vocals make for an entertaining experience, both tackling songs in different ways. This combination also provides a new angle to the Victory Pill sound. There really isn’t a bad song on this album; it’s a complete body of work and well worth a listen. If you like The Prodigy, Pitchshifter or Triptaka then this album is for you.
