Janus Stark / Human Waste Project
In: Camden Barfly @ The Falcon
Date: February 1998
By: Pete Gabler

Human Waste Project arrive and Aimee Echo looks superb, venting her anger into the microphone with a large dollop of relish. Comparisons to Courtney/Tarrie/Gwen may be close visually, but she stalks the stage with a raw cynicism more associated with someone like Polly Harvey. The band tear through new single 'Powerstrip' beating up Aimee's vocal line and shearing it of its nasty habit of sounding like Alanis Morrissette. 'Electra' and 'One Night in Spain' are deceptively intense songs that drift into Sneaker Pimps / Morcheeba territory, offering intense new dimensions of a band whose blitzkreig sounds seems inevitably to be destined for higher things.
