My remarks about Pullen's new LP weren't too descriptive, sorry. There's signature Stacey Pullen all over it but it just lacks the kind of warmth you'd associate with previous output. A lot of tracks are similar in style to the Daphreephunkateerz breaks tracks (one of which appears on his DJ Kicks) and occasional interludes attempt Innerzone Orchestra fusion but it all just fails so miserably for me to reach any of those standards. It's just p*ss-poor "lifestyle" music. For a producer that used to epitomise the soulful side of techno Pullen's produced an album almost entirely lacking in just that: soul.
Because I was so shocked by how poor I thought this album was, I brought "The Theory of Silent Phase" into work to listen to today and it breaks my heart to think Stacey can't made an album anywhere even close to as beautiful as that. Where has all the emotion and warmth gone? I noticed Cyclone Wehner remarked a while back that this new album was great, had you heard it or had you just heard the up and coming single? Still in a state of shock... Jonny. np: Theory of Silent Phase. > I had a listen to the new Stacey Pullen LP over the weekend (advance promo > off a friend who's promoting it in the UK, it isn't out yet) and it is > *incredibly* disappointing.
