Well then, are Rising High having a comeback? After hearing rumours
of them going bankrupt I was surprised to pick up a flier for
a club night to celebrate the release of
Further Self Evident Truths 3
a compilation featuring the likes of Wagon Christ, Techno Animal,
Irresistable Force, and so on. So I go along and have a wicked
time. Mixmaster Morris, played a killer set, building up from
chill hip hop through techno and into tearing hardstep crazy killer
jungle. Criminey. Not to mention Luke Vibert funking it up in the
bar with some obscenely groovy old moog records and such like.
All in all a bonus night, so when I saw the compilation I bought it
and heres my review:
Its good! Standout track - An incredible mix of Waveform off Global Chillage,
(the one with McKenna wittering on in his usual fashion) Morris has cut
up the vocals and the tune stuck 'em back together in a different order,
and layered some wonderfully chill drumnbassy breaks on top. Magic.
Wagon Christ gives us another gem of laid back breaks, along side a more
frenetic offering from Plug. Bedouin Ascent gets all Plug like on his track,
and Techno Animal wierd it up at the end with serious acid squelches and
slow heavy beats. All in all an up to the minute compilation, (and I've
only mentioned half the tracks) after that Waveform song I can't wait for
MMM's new record.
Cheers
