Release Notes :
Dot Allison and Slam are reunited once more for this two track release. Dot and
the Slam duo had previously worked together on massive club favourites Visions
from Slams excellent 2002 album Alien Radio and We Medicate from the 2007
release Human Response. The two remixes by Stuart and Orde of Dots moving track
Cry are a healthy reminder of what the three musicians are capable of.
Following on from recent release Maffaking/Last Sonic Approach from Adam Beyers
Drumcode Records and several releases on their own Paragraph label, Slam have
made 2010 a year for fans to remember, making it one of their most consistent
years to date. Two remixes of Room 2 by Pan Pot and Harvey McKay & Alan
Fitzpatrick remixes of City Destroyer on Paragraph have now been followed up by
the brilliant instrumental and vocal versions of Cry.
The release kicks off with Slams influential style imprinted on the instrumental
remix from the outset. As the rhythm builds with the industrial undercurrents
the track really begins to move. The huge, deep synth becomes such a focal point
of the remix making the atmosphere purposeful and brilliantly unsettling. Stuart
and Ordes distinguishing style is kept at its top quality best as the thrilling
bass and the motion of the percussion smooth the 7 minute edit out perfectly.
The vocal remix keeps the atmospheric standard running high with action packed
hi-hats and percussion which will keep any club-goer dancing. The excitingly
threatening deep synth is complimented by Dot Allisons beautifully haunting
vocals, which swirl around the track with grace and audacity. The industrial
vibe keeps the original tracks emotion flowing while Slam continue to toy with
listeners feelings with their pulsating style.
