Release Notes:
After a brief flirtation with Sci+Tec Audio for their Inside/Outside EP
earlier this year, Mutant Clan, AKA Timo Maas and Santos, are back with
Connaisseur, and seemingly the pair have found their niche within a
niche; "toilet" tracksùa reference to the length of their recent
productions rather than the quality of them.
The Maas renaissance is now unquestioned. But until about six months
ago, the last time I really paid much attention to the craggy-faced
Dutchman was pre-Music for the Maases when he was all pent-up
aggression and industrial clanging. Things have got a lot cleaner and
smoother lately, and much of this Olay effect can be attributed to his
recent Siamese-like partnership with Santos, who has always had an
uncanny knack for effectively placing a lovely whooshy pad here and a
soaring string there.
"Perfect Place" is by far the stronger of the pair here, and while not
quite flawless is certainly a coherent lesson in the art of the slow
burn. Dubby bass and kicks underpin a skittering line of percussion,
while the twisted hook proves that while working with Santos may have
relaxed Maas just a little, the outright hostility of his earlier work
has merely morphed into something more closely resembling quiet menace.
The break is big and beautiful and would be the appropriate soundtrack
to the birth of a new star or something equally hyperbolic, but the
real beauty of this track is that it doesn't feel like a fraction of
its 12-minute length.
"Parallel World" is decent enough, and at over ten minutes isn't
exactly succinct, but doesn't have the "big tune" appeal that "Perfect
Place" so effortlessly oozes. With a simple bassline and solid snare
and percussion arrangement, it's aiming for a Cobblestone Jazz-esque
groove and comes very close to pulling it off, but not quite. Stick to
the big ones, boys.
