1/A1 Think Like Us

INFO:
Hello. SUCTION RECORDS presents "13", a three-track 7" single, marking the
debut release by TINFOIL TEAKETTLE. This is suction013. TINFOIL TEAKETTLE is
a collaboration between Gregory De Rocher and Jason Amm, aka SUCTION
RECORDS' full-time robot music composers, LOWFISH and SOLVENT. This release
is plagued by a curse, influenced by nightmares, and sounds like a modern
take on the raw, morbid Electronic Body Music sound of early Skinny Puppy or
Dive. The distorted vocal stylings of the EBM-masters have been
reinterpreted with an icy vocoder snarl, signalling strange new directions
for both EBM and modern electro.

INFO:
Hello. SUCTION RECORDS presents "Auntie Depressant," a five-track 12" ep,
marking the debut of BLACK TURTLENECK. This is suction016. BLACK TURTLENECK
is a new Toronto-based vocal electro-pop duo featuring Jason Amm (aka
SUCTION RECORDS' full-time robot music composer, SOLVENT) and Thomas
Sinclair. BLACK TURTLENECK takes SUCTION RECORDS' patented melodic electro
sound one step closer to the classic synthpop stylings of Soft Cell, Human
League and Depeche Mode. Five modern, complex synthesizer pop songs for the
introspective black turtleneck set, working the day job in silent contempt,
with dreams of leaving.... Songs about clublife for people who don't like
clubs, and window shopping melodies for those feeling spent. "Auntie
Depressant" is the perfect prescription to alleviate your grudges and
misgivings, delivered with an accent for authenticity.

-->GD LUXXE "Vendetta" (CD / 12" EP, suction015)
DJ magazine (U.K.):
"Gerhard Potuznik has been making music since the 80s, so he's in a better
position than most producers to release a synth pop EP. Taking inspiration
from Soft Cell, as well as New Order - check the growling bassline on
'Words' - the real irony is that two of the tracks, 'Reasons' and 'Garden',
were originally recorded by the Austrian producer during the decade of
greed. As such, their deadpan vocals, tinny synths and bleepy electro sounds
manage to achieve the rare feat of sounding retro and contemporary at the
same time." RATING: 4 out of 5.
The Wire magazine (U.K.):
"Coming with a vendetta from Vienna, Gerhard Potuznik revives two tracks
written in 1986, polishing them up for the millennium and fleshing out the
record with two new compositions and a remix co-authored by Canada's
Solvent. In keeping the the unspoken theme for this month's column -
Vendetta is resolutely nu wave: the opening track "REASONS" is an
arpeggio-driven pop track grazed by cool analogue synthesizers, punctuated
by skittering drum machines overlaid with dry vocals in the style of Marc
Almond. And if this is Potuznik singing, he's got the accent down pat. The
rest of the record follows in like fashion , marked by the modulated growls
of classic Depeche Mode. Nostalgia buffs will love it, but the rest of us
are advised to take it in moderation. Like the Austria beverage sturm, drawn
off pre-fermented wine and available for mere weeks at a time, its pleasure
is inscribed in its limits."
