I was listening to 'Deutscher Funk', and to the Pole track 'Berlin',
earlier today. Basically, I was realising that I don't like it nearly so
much as the 'Raum' 12". Although there's not -that- much difference
between the releases (including the KiffSM one), I just really swim in
both mixes of 'Raum'...
Basically, what this boils down to is: does anyone know if the album is
that very bass heavy, reverb soaked sound, or does it focus on the clicks?
I dunno why I'm asking really, cos I'll get hold of it anyway, and I'm
essentially asking someone to pin down feel more than technique, which is
always a nightmare. I'm hoping that cutting BCR and Burial Mix stuff is
gonna keep on rubbing off on the Pole material.
I have no idea what the lag between something being released and getting
hold of it on import to New Zealand is: has the Pole album actually been
released?
On a vaguely related note, I'm really enjoying Rhythm and Sound's 'Roll
Off' 12", the beatless flip side especially. It's a fantastic take on dub
in such a huge and flowing way. Yum. I think I got the name right. :-)
