Given that the last release on this label was,
for our money, pretty much the best thing to
have happened to the whole "dub techno" scene
in quite some time, it's with no small amount
of relish that we greet the arrival of this
incredible second twelve from the mysterious
Freund der Familie imprint.
Available in a hand-numbered edition of 499
copies and pressed on white vinyl, the material
here simply puts to shame so much of what passes
for deep Techno these days - with a completely
engrossing production style that, while
reminding us of Rod Modell's most inspired
moments, somehow takes the whole thing to another
level.
The original version of 'Sark' just oozes
brilliance, with a padded kickdrum and submerged
percussion flowing in and out of frayed, almost
dysfunctional chords and layers of tape hiss.
The effect is almost paralysing, you more or less
forget that this thing has a beat or any kind
of propulsion, so woozy are its surroundings.
The flipside offers up a remix from Taron-Trekka,
who manages to somehow out-do the original with
a complete re-configuration that turns the whole
thing into a sparkling, slowed down House
variation complete with impossibly nostalgic chord
changes and distant bells that you don't expect
but which suddenly throw you into a spin.
It just has to be, for our money, one of the
loveliest things you'll hear this year, completing
another absolutely precious release from this
wonderful, utterly beguiling label.
MIGHTY twelve - Essential Purchase!
