Release Notes:
If pendle coven's most recent transmission from the bunker ('Pound 100
a metre ep' ) unleashed their admiration for classic uk hardcore circa
1992 - 'marriage of convenience' sees them take an altogether more
cherry flavoured pill. 'X Marks The Sample' happily spreads its wings
across the full span of the a side and with insatiable melodic abandon
delivers an alternate take to the pop-fuelled minimalism cologne has
claimed as its own over the last 5 years. This is a track of lovingly
expansive proportions, a majestic blend of happy beats and reflective
chords - if the underground ever deserved an after-hours anthem, this
is surely it. 'Modern Mode' opens the flipside and could well end up
being the signature piece for this label - encompassing all the things
it holds so dear: endlessly padded basslines, motor city progressions,
airy rhythm skitters, dub chords - diligently honed and repackaged for
maximum impact. in other words - a killer! 'Tributary' closes this ep
with a careful study of the downtempo exploits the likes of theo
parrish have become so well known for. Opening with a heavyweight
bottom-end metallic clunk in 4/4, this track soon expands into a
multicoloured melange of spacious hi-hats and twinkling string samples
- leading one set of ears in this office to implore all onlookers to
wait until a suitably early hour of the morning before exposing
themselves to its incorrigible charms. Alternatively, a cross between
the peerless skills of the aforementioned mr Parrish and the sublow
cuts of the digital mystikz or maybe even kode 9 might give you the
descriptive fuel that's so hard to articulate when it's gone 4am.
