Funky Porcini: "Carwreck" EP (Ninja Tune)
A1 'Carwreck (Wagon Christ mix)' - A bit droney, surprisingly monotonous
for a Luke Vibert joint. Familiar-sounding breaks from the "Drum 'n
Bass for Papa" LP.
A2 'Carwreck (Original mix)' - Goddamn this is crazy! Disjointed, jazzy
breaks and a mad bebop section right out of Dizzy Gillespie/Charlie
Parker. Someone tell me where I can find more of this!
B1 'Carwreck (Squarepusher mix)' - Bizzare hybrid of 'Peace Nail'
(extreme flanged/distorted breaks) and 'Port Rhombus' (echoey muted
percussion) - high on the schizophrenia scale.
B2 'The Fly' - Cutup downtempo breaks with a - guess what - fly buzzing
around in the background.
Vert: "Broken Breakbeat Bebop" (Bovinyl Records)
Bought this on recommendation from someone else on the list. Despite
the title, it doesn't sound very close to true bebop, but it's quite
good if you like your d&b funky and silly. Schlock melodies a la
"Cheesy (Gigolo mix)" on Plug 2, and some decent programming.
Recommended.
