***yep, it's 8 stark tracks exploring
a bass drum welded to some tones.
all cuts here are four on the floor, but the majority
are super downtempo. first track is 3/4,
second is at the exact same tempo but 4/4,
third is around half time of the first two,
then a couple more at the original tempo,
than track 6 varies between 3/4 and 4/4
time (sorta a vogelish thing, but only
in time signature), (6 and 7 are slower
than the first cut, but faster than the 3rd!),
than the last track pumps the tempo up
(it's still slow for techno, but much faster
than the rest on the release) to a slow
minimal techno piece, again a single bd
and some tones explored. this will likely
get compared to hawtin's consumed, though
consumed, minimal as it was, is actually quite
a bit *busier* than voigt's release here!
ain't a single bit of high end of this, just mids
and that big bad bassdrum!
andrew duke :) ps track #2 from this
on show 593, should be online midweek.
