Just recieved 2 new Fragile releases, John Arnold - "Fragile 18" This one is kinda hard to describe but I'll give it a shot, On side A, we have a breakbeaty, funky to the maxx, tech house stomper, yeah heavy on the tech, oh man, you gotta hear it to believe it, fresh sounds fer sure. Then we have 2 tracks on the B side, the first clocking in at 129 bpm, this track has a heavy marching band sound that will have you standing there with UR jaw laying there on the ground, heavy drum rolling throughout, nice bassline to boot, some jazzy elements are present, gotta love it. The second track on the B is a light almost drum'n bassy real abstrakt, sounding house, some drum rolling tossed in for good thoughts, mmmm yummy. 9/10
The Vanisher - "The Temporary ep" - Fragile-019 The beginning kicks off kinda on the dark ambient tip, while after some time a slowed down, mellow spastik bassline builds, till UR standing there trembling, it's true, it's true. Throughout the track you get some sax stabs, and some flute sounds, no doubt, good stuff here. Then to the B side, two tracks. The first being a track that clocks in at 125, man, all I can say is that this tech house, yes, the emphasis on house, and has a deep bassline that floats throughout, well done. This is something that would fit in well in the Time:Space comp. The second track is a short trip on a subway train, with some trippy, funky, abstrak, sounds that pop in and out Quality stuff, no doubt. 9/10 I'll se if Javier can post the releases on our website, www.undergroundcommittee.com for you guys to enjoy on real audio. peace out, Dave G.
