Here is a review of it someone else posted to another list. I don't the Norken 12" myself but will soon. Norken - Southern Soul - Reel Wow. What a fucking masterpiece. A1, the long track, is the only thing you need to hear on this. So beautiful, I don't really know what to say. or how to encapsulize this track into words. A simple washing chord melody, a minimal beat, some light airy stacatto synth sounds in the back.. slowly little sounds come creeping thru as the minutes (which feel like seconds) pass. We're graced with a bassline, a fleeting clap on the 2 and 4, then the sparse beat turns a bit more shuffley, but just a *little* to keep that minimal vibe.. all of a sudden you feel like dancing. what a god damn track. -->-Lance--- p.o. box 450715 westlake, ohio 44145 united states
