Man, that sounds eerily familiar... ;) Dale http://th.m-nus.com
quoted 22 lines SND/Komet: Premium Leisure 12" (Blir 02)>SND/Komet: Premium Leisure 12" (Blir 02) >Second release on SND's 'Premium Leisure' sub-label - this time >collaborating with Mille Plateaux's Frank Bretschneider. But >the collaboration here - with Bretschneider under his Komet >moniker - takes on a slightly different approach to the main >thread of collaborations in the electronic field. Tracks were >not sent back and forth between the artists, and they did not >share the same studio space. Instead, Bretschneider provided >SND's Mark Fell and Mat Steel with some Sound Patches for their >Nord module and by doing so gave them a framework of sound within >which to apply their compositional skills. Listening to the four >tracks here exemplifies the success of the experiment. What we >have are the warm tones and bass keys typified on much of >Bretschneider's work, but choreographed with the groove-led, >almost technofied sense of rhythm that has made so much of SND's >work captivating. By restricting the sound sources available to >them, Bretschneider has imposed his own impetus, his own >'starting-off' point, and in return has left the process to >develop beyond his reach. This is a truly stunning EP, not so >much interested in clicks and cuts, but, rather, in the >development of microscopic sound sources into something >accessible and warm.
