Don't get me wrong, I think its a fine piece of
work. Personally, I don't think it warrants
the hail of great reviews it's been getting.
For me, it's hibrow housetrax with a v.delay
signature, which is great for dj's, not so great on
cd. philip, your comment on how he breaks up vocals
etc, i think that's been going on a long time, you
could easily point to Todd Edwards, who's
been slicing up and skewing vocals for years.
vd's other releases on force are more interesting.
picked up a buckfunk 3000 12 on
Language called "FutureShockPlanetRock", not sure
what the release date is though it sounds similar
to his current breaks work. Very acidy, very
deconstructed. Anyone know whats up
with Language these days? Also picked up a Bigfoot 12
on Eukatek from 95 that is really sick
hard tech-house, a bit like neil landstrumm
I would like to add that the lyrical content for what
it is on
Vocalcity esp.
on Tessio is above the usual house-tripe and makes me
smile...
"i guess you make me warm
when you do the hum
making everybody come
getting creative with your charm"
