Etch's track titles have never been grandiose, but this is the
first time he's ditched them entirely. Each cut on this EP for
Sneaker Social is simply called "Untitled Hardcore" and assigned a
number. Fittingly, the EP shows the jungle revivalist at his most
direct. "Hardcore" is a bit of a misnomer: while these tracks run
at early-'90s tempos, their detailed breaks edits, cool moods and
tangy timestretched samples reference the jungle of a few years
later. Sometimes they could do with a bit more of their namesake's
raucous 'tude. On "#4," the vocal bigging up "man like
motherfucking Etch in the place" sounds almost bored, and the
breakbeats bob and weave with a smooth proficiency that doesn't
quite capture jungle's capacity to shock. Etch has been developing
this style for a while now, and a dose of the unexpected wouldn't
hurt.
Elsewhere, though, the EP's concision works wellùparticularly in
contrast to the meandering Technicolour Daydream. "#2" is the most
satisfying, thanks to the Photek-ish drums that rat-tat-tat into
view after a lengthy intro. This techy sound is unusual for Etch,
and elsewhere he falls back on woodier breakbeats and rough-cut
samples. The opener pairs creepy Bernard Herrmann-like strings
with a filtered vocal sample for an intriguing mix of funk and
fright. "#3" is the odd one out, sprawling to seven and a half
minutes. The extra time allows Etch to explore more extreme
contrastsùdreamy, sighing breakdowns versus bone-dry breakbeat
onslaughts. But the nagging suspicion remains: what, at jungle
tempo, might have been a razor-sharp five minutes is just a little
sluggish pitched down.
