A bit on the soft side really. No tracks bite out at you with the
aggressiveness of some previous Klute work. Not that this is a bad
thing. Its definitely still not as smooth/sappy as bukem or the
like. Continuing with the comparison to earlier klute, the sound here is
thicker. as in more layers. but the layers are used properly so it
doesnt sound busy, just adds a feeling of depth. similar pattern as in
mbm's subliminal sandwich vs sparser earlier releases. drums patterns are
also more stacatto and complex...the break on three of us is really
nice. no canned breaks or shit youve already heard here. some tasteful use
of femme vox on various tracks. unlike photek solaris theyre actually
catchy here instead of annoying...mainly due to restraint in usage via
proper eq/processing to not make them stick out like a sore
thumb. re: production in general, this guy really has an
obsessive attention to detail. not that this is bad. mostly dnb still,
theres a few midtempo breaks as you mentioned, and a couple techno tracks
with highly repetitive synth noises reminiscent of jeff mills. the
feel/tempo is pretty consistent throughout, however. and the remixes by
hefner and matrix are worth picking up as well. oh, and i havent heard any
autechre samples in this, which breaks from the rule that theres
usually at least one in every certificate 18 release.
who would like this? fans of cert18 artists like polar and lexis, those
who liked second bad vilbel but wished more ae tracks were full of
energy and percussion, those who dont like directionless bleep/click/wank
idm but get bored with straight ahead dance music and want a happy medium.
