=============================================================================
Propellerheads needs no introduction. This CDM features one of my
long time favorite tracks 'Clang' not to be found on the
'decksanddrumsandrockandroll' album. This is the promo CD maxi with
purple label and transparent plastic sleeve.
Reviews:
Spybreak (Music Week / Record Mirror)
The Props deliver three more cuts of prime breakbeat mayhem, the
title track uses a cheeky Mission Impossible - esque sample,
coupled with some funky Seventies style keyboarding. 'Velvet Pants'
over on the B keeps up the funk, cool Jazzy chords sit neatly upon
the tight groove, while the Flute riff weaves in and out with the
deranged 'Velvet Pants' refrain. 'Clang' explores the smoker's
arena, a sanky bass sets the mood with a dark attitude and quirky
sounds. Well worth investigating.
Spybreak (NME)
More screaming breakbeats from the Props, pulling off the
unenviable task of following their steamrolling 'Take California'
single with unrivalled panache. This one kicks off with their
trademark human beatbox, moves into a 'Hey Jude' - like groove
before spinning into Mission Impossible - type espionage, leaving
us feeling as though we've been caught in a rhino charge with only
a cagoule for protection. And while flip tack 'Velvet Pants' may be
Corduroy - style cut that lacks the Props' usual punch, 'Clang'
soon picks the momentum back up with its old-skool electro samples
and eerie melodies.
