i haven't seen a review of this much hyped release yet so here's some of my thoughts on it after my first spin.. this 3x12" comes in a clear plastic bag with absolutely no info. the vinyl is really heavy and good quality, just the way i like it. the only info printed on the release are the different shapes on each side. each shape represents a track; there are 6 tracks. the general sound of the release is noisy in the same way as the 'triangle cake' track on the bola 7" on skam. i've heard many people compare the sound of this release to bola and i have to say that the comparisions are very much in place, although the structure of the tracks is in my opinion slightly different. the beats seem to mostly work in the same manner as on most of the tracks from mr fitton though. heavy bass booms pleasantly balance the strong mid-range action that's present in most of the tracks. the round side differs from the rest of the package because it's mostly beatless, but fits in well with the rest of the tracks and i think the sinister feeling that is present on the whole release is particularly strong in this one. lush string melodies and loops beautifully create depth to these tracks and old-schoolish synth sounds give the release a nice 'space' type of sound. the triangle side is more upbeat and my favourite of the pack. most recent releases have left me cold but this one really made my day. it has the certain kind of quality that got me interested in this kind of music a long time ago that doesn't seem to be present in most newer releases. sorry for the short review but maybe i'll post a more through-out one later on after repeated listening.. sire --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
