James Booth returns to Growing Bin Records with two more tunes on a Techno trajectory. Still paying homage to Detroit`s pioneers. But deconstructing the Electro / House of his his previous E.P. Space Echo Track arrives on arrhythmic timpani. A broken beat Batucada. Shuffling snares. Shot with deadly subs. Bouncing off walls as if one leg were longer than the other. Tripping over itself as it falls into delay. Its definitely nocturnal dance spiked with twists of Sci-Fi noise. Like animals in the dark. Woodwinds lending an air of serenity to its synthetic rainforest ritual.
Locus loses the drums altogether. Settling instead for shining waves of steely metallic ambience. The sound of galaxies blinking. Lasers firing. Beatless but rushing. Trying to catch its breath. The dancing reduced to distant handclaps and 303 ghosts. The rising electrical storm casting Trance shapes similar to Sven Vath`s classic Caravan Of Emotions.
found this by accident in a record shop (Piccadilly in Manchester, who i have to admit wrote the kind of blurb that draws a sucker like me in!), and it’s an absolute killer. This is going to be living in my bag for quite a while i suspect.
