From Boomkat:
Since the demise of the Kiff SM label these three groundbreaking albums have been unavailable, thus
depriving a whole new generation of listeners with the chance to familiarise themselves with some of the
best broken dub of the last 15 years. And in this instance - we really do mean broken, for the central
conceit in Pole's work across this triptych of releases was his broken 4 Pole-Waldorf filter, a unit which
created unpredictable yet beautifully frayed analogue detritus. The first of these three albums came out in
1998, soon after the peak of the Basic Channel movement and while Stefan Betke (aka Pole) was working
at Berlin's legendary Dubplates and Mastering studio under the tutelage of Robert Henke, aka Monolake.
When Pole 1 came out it sounded completely unlike anything else anyone had heard before - utilising a
bass-heavy dub aesthetic surrounded by the fragmented flotsam and jetsam of his malfunctioning effects
unit, all in the most self restrained, minimal and un-showy manner. In hindsight there are clear parallels
with the enigmatic reductions of Basic channel's Rhythm & Sound, but Pole's rhythms offered a much
more complex and unnerving set of parameters for the dub chords to bury themselves in - and as a result
the trajectory of each track became much harder to predict. By the Time Pole 3 came out a couple of
years later, the influence of Pole's sound was so substantial that he even provided the soundtrack to a
Levi's advert (check the second sound sample below) - by which point his focus shifted towards elements
of Hip Hop and Techno with the formation of his Scape imprint and fourth album for the Mute label. But
these 3 albums no doubt offer Betke's most substantial and important body of work to date - and it's truly a
treat to have them available once again in this deluxe package (including liner notes by The Wire's Rob
Young). Newcomers to these 3 wondrous albums are in for quite a treat. ESSENTIAL PURCHASE
