Just had a bit of one of those "are we talking about the same record here?"
moments, so thought I ought to comment. There is nothing on 'Intershop' that
strikes me as remotely thunderous, and at most the kicks are simply kept
really lightweight/tinny, rather than beign swamped by everything else there.
It's not like the waves of sound that typify a Gas release at all, IMO. Sure,
it's got rhythms, and Dettinger also writes techno, which still comes through
on 'Intershop', but generally the rhythms are either slightly hip-hop
(strongly accented on the one, with hits on the 2 and 4) or something far
stranger than your average techno track.
One thing that really blows me away about Intershop is the use of effects.
It's not some kind of experimental toss-off, and it's also not somehow
polished or tidied up. If anything the echoes often push the rhythms by being
out of time with them, thus making the whole thing more free and less victim
to that ever-present spectre of recorded music (the production that's been
worked on too long) that dogs so many recent releases.
Oh yeah, Matt, what do you _do_ with your list of top 100 records? :-)
