Just listened again to the Oliver Ho LP and realised that it's track
three that samples Steve Reich, not track 4, and I think the sample
is actually from the track 'Drumming', not Electric Counterpoint.
Apologies for not being accurate first time round. Double apologies
to those not interested in my trainspotterish pedantry! ;-)
While we're on the subject of Reich though, 'Drumming' is probably
even more 'techno' than 'Electric Counterpoint'. It's an astonishing
piece made from 12 people playing live rhythm loops on an assortment
of tuned drums, marimba, glockenspiels, voice and piccolo. The way it
works is that the different performers start and stop playing their
loops, which are also vary in lenghth.
The effect is that seemingly random shifting patterns emerge as the
varying length loops overlay each other in different ways. All the
while the rhythm inexorably builds up. Essentially it sounds totally
like minimal techno and lasts for about 85 minutes! If you ever get
the chance to listen to it right through it's utterly mesmerising. It
was released on Deutsche Grammophon as a box set and isn't too hard
to pick up.
I have the new album too, are you speaking about track 4??

hello
Just received the new Oliver Ho album in the post, it's called 'The
Soft Machine' and is coming out on Meta. Listening to it right now in
fact and have to say that I'm rather enjoying it. There's a track
that samples Steve Reich (always the way to win favour with me) +
lots of 313 style synthy business.
Hadn't actually consciously heard any of his stuff before. Had lumped
him together with the looped bangers people but there seems to be
more to it than that.
Anyone have any further Oliver Ho recommendations?
