i went into a studio last night and recorded a friend of mine playing
drums. took it back to the computer, loaded it up, processed it (all
hail MDT), and bingo, killer jungle loops that nobody else has. just
needed to gloat about that for a minute.
to atone for that, i offer a review:
Christoph De Babalon - "Seven Up" (digital hardcore)
Wow, so far I haven't liked anything from alec empire or DHR, but this
is a very cool release. The madness commences with an epic 10 minute
jungle track called "My Confession." It's just the amen break with a
few lo fi pads and rumbles but its starkness renders it all the more
effective. extremely hypnotic. builds very subtly as well over time.
big thumbs up. the other 6 tracks are all short pieces of either
total dark ambience or menacing techstep excursions. well worth a
look, especially as it's priced as a single.
