Let it not be said that this nail hath no head.
Well aside from that, what about the actual record?
Well first thing to grab you is the packaging. Absolutely lush
glossy metal foil covered embossed (with WARP logo and artist/title)
10" sleeve. The next thing will be the music. "Khala" is a deep dark
near-ambient work, which previously appeared as the last track on the
hard-to-get "Eurowarp" tape. And "Humba" is a superb wonky 5/4 groove
which should restore all but the most jaded idmers' faith in WARP,
and possibly in the world in general :) The appearance of this track
on Blech2 was almost a red herring. Just the vocal snippet "The
things that people say you cannot do" as it emerges from the track in
the outro, laid over LFO, is all that appeared, explaining why it had
no exclusive track number associated with it.
btw has anyone else seen a promo of this. Mine is pressed on 12"
vinyl, a really interesting piece as it has an inch-wide gap around
the ouside of both sides, since the groove pressing is identical!
hunt it down; 1000 copies are available.
