Though now hailing from Graz, Simon/Off presents us four tracks that can't deny their influence from the Vienna School: atmospheric Blip-Hop scapes meet Praterbreaks in a half empty Coffeehouse where you can smell the smoke of K&D's cigarettes slowly fading away. Advanced Highheel-Step for bitcrushing Anti-Hippies is the order of the day for the first two tracks "Easy" and "Away". Acid-reminiscences of early and mid nineties Warp Recordings set the tone and work hand in hand with Hardcore-stabs on "Begin" and "Crime", the second half of the EP.
What else? Oh yeah! - all of that seems to happen in a an empty space of about 50 squaremeters - Play it out loud, to fill the room!
Special thanks to Kabelton (kabelton.de) for the mastering of all four tracks!
awesome. proper musicality coupled with mental 'altered state' layers (love the 'dropped scaffolding' sound and changing eq reverberated fingersnaps) and fx. almost forgot the fat production and even hooks! what more could you want for? oh yeah, it's free.........
many many thanks and very much looking forward to the next one from you mate, regards, maff S ;-) sneed [ london, 2008-04-06 22:22:00 ]
