I absolutely love predominant shaker-esque 8th-note hats, which tend to remind me of Stetsasonic's "Talkin' All That Jazz" or Slick Rick's "Gangsta's Fairytale". It just so happens that this week I bought two records that I don't recall being discussed here which both offer this same satisfaction. The first is Chateau Flight's "Baroque" (or "Baccula" on the flip), the second is Jacek Sienkiewicz feat. Marek Raczkowski's "Ride". I'm sure the former is on everyone's radar per its inclusion on the Innervisions imprint, but the latter seems to elude almost everyone in perpetuity. Anyway... it works for me rather well. Support Polish techno.
Look at the new Recognition EP as a whole and you have a pretty strong departure from the Sienkiewicz norm, but look at it as its own self-contained recording and you see an attempt to merge two rather different styles. These styles are tamed on "Ride" quite severely compared to the rest, but the merger of these styles begged for someone to take charge. Unfortunately it only ever happened on this one track. The other three all promise loads and wind up uncontrolled. "Ride" alone successfully points to the strange space between Saunderson and Hood which to my ears has not yet been properly explored, and has lots of potential for future experimentation. I hope this doesn't go unnoticed. One more time, that's Recognition 019. Tristan ======= http://www.phonopsia.co.uk [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
