Just got advances on some new WARP stuff:
* PLONE- WAP107CDP
70's Kraut inspired and gleefully referred without sounding
too obvious . Vocoders, happy tinny underscored beats, squelch, with a bit
of Plank-isms
here and there. This to me, is a vibe that Air strive for but
underachieve. Plone has
captured a space age, retro 70's am ez/ listening radio vibe that is
totally fun *and*
unpretentious. Yipee! Not as *serious* or IDM as a lot of Warp but so what?
* TLS ( Weatherall- Tenniswood ) - WAP106CDP
Electro, baby, electro. Well, not completely. Electro, 80's pop dance,
sexy moods, Detroit simplicity and even a beat box industrial shuffle
here and there. I'm also feeling some late 80's white boy Brit funk a la ACR and
400 Blows, though that might just be *my* reference point. Track 4 kicks
the hardest, riding the crest between a sped up Egyptian Lover and Drecyiya.
Bangin' all round! Track 5 , A d+b track ( sort of ) and 6, a fast bleeper end
the show with this one. Sexy and upbeat. Great.
