█▓█ Swimmingpool is a collaboration between Michael Scheibenreiter and
█▓█ Stefan Schwander.
█▓█
█▓█ Michael Scheibenreiter is half of the drum & bass duo Phoneheads,
█▓█ while Stefan Schwander records as Antonelli electr. (italic),
█▓█ Rythm_Maker (background), Repeat Orchestra (A Touch Of Class) and A
█▓█ Rocket In Dub (italic), and collaborates with J÷rg Burger as POP UP.
█▓█
█▓█ The sixth and ninth songs on Anything That Doesn't Move were released
█▓█ as a 12inch on Combination Records. Their titles are O-Ton Left and
█▓█ Atomizer. Neither are songs I particularly like on the disc.
█▓█
█▓█ The second Swimmingpool single was Diver b-w Bypassed. Both tracks are
█▓█ on the CD (No. 3 and 11). I like Diver. It must have been altered a
█▓█ bit from the 12inch, as it is called Diver Part2 on the CD.
█▓█
█▓█ The eight track (Perhaps) is from the first Traffic compilation on
█▓█ Combination. It is funny that none of these tracks (except Diver
█▓█ Part2) are my favorites, yet I like this CD.
█▓█
█▓█ I like the second, third, and fourth songs (Eddy, Diver Part2,
█▓█ Reprise) and number ten, Chakiti Island.
█▓█
█▓█ Eddy is a really fine tune. It has many layers that weave together.
█▓█ Taken individually, each of the elements are stone cold simple. The
█▓█ bass is as solid as a dub track, but the real cement here is the
█▓█ distinctive sound of a Fender Rhodes electric piano. The drum beat
█▓█ appears and disappears through the track, varying from a 4/4 beat to a
█▓█ single electronic pulse. There are three distinct sounds which pulse
█▓█ in and out. One sounds like a pneumatic wrench removing a wheel lug,
█▓█ one sounds like an electronic cicada in the summer, and one is a
█▓█ metallic pulse. Each is indispensable in the track, and help Eddy to
█▓█ sound full and fine.
█▓█
█▓█ Diver Part2 starts with a pulsing synth that almost sounds like the
█▓█ beginning of the (Gary Numan) Tubeway Army song Listen To The Sirens.
█▓█ The twinkling single note Rhodes sound is here again. The drum is more
█▓█ skittering that Eddy. There is a secondary rhythm that rises into the
█▓█ track after the pulsing synth fades.
█▓█
█▓█ Reprise sounds a lot like A Rocket In Dub. There is a lot of echo, and
█▓█ the bass is deep and strong. What the collaboration adds to this is a
█▓█ more developed drum bottom that you will hear on A Rocket In Dub
█▓█ tracks. It is funny how Reprise ends. After two and a half minutes it
█▓█ just fades out, without any resolution or climax. I wonder why they
█▓█ chose to do that?
█▓█
█▓█ Chakiti Island has the most mystery of the tracks. I love the way is
█▓█ starts off. It is a visual track that brings imagery to a drifting
█▓█ mind. I like walking through the moody Chakiti Island led by the
█▓█ Rhodes electric piano, quick sounds making brief appearances from
█▓█ either side.
█▓█
█▓█ Anything That Doesn't Move is an interesting record that is not
█▓█ entirely crucial to own, but has been a pleasure to live with these
█▓█ past two weeks, as I listened to it to write this review.
