Daan Posted May 10, 2001 Posted May 10, 2001 XV Kilist - Kante / Gummi Artist: XV Kilist Title: Kante / Gummi Label: Spiral Trax Date: 1999 Track listing: 01. 09'20" Kante 02. 10'40" Gummi Review: The second EP of XV Kilist from Switzerland. One of the best selling Spiral Trax EP's at its time and with a reason: both tracks are f*** great! They can rock a dancefloor up side down. Although the EP was released quite some time ago, and is not available anymore, I think it should be reviewed so that people can understand what all this X.V. Kilist fuzz was about. "Kante" contains crazy sounds arranged in an intelligent way. It has a sample that makes me grin just becuase of the sound of it. It goes like: "Ich kann die Fernwehn nicht mehr so wichtig absetzen... Oh!", or something that sounds simulair. It's in German anyway. =] After this sample, when the music peaks at 3/4 of the track, a bassline comes in that sends thrills up my spinal column. "Gummi" has a very simular sound, though the samples here are present in a less obvious way. The rythms in the track are just awsome. And, the track has been released on a compilation too. To wrap up: these tracks are funny, groovy and able to induce drug like rushes. Dancefloor killers... Quote

Guest Xymaths Posted May 11, 2001 Posted May 11, 2001 Chaos recs had me believing that this 12 inch was a killer-however Kante was allright-nothing mindblowing and structurally pretty week and gummi was a load of minimal bollox-give me something TIP or 3 d vision anyday! Quote

sunwolf Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 I love the track Gummi. Yes, it's somewhat minimal, but so what -- this automatically means it's crap?! I'm sure I've heard tracks with less layers before, these ones are just well concealed! Unfortunately I've never heard the original of Kante so I can't comment. Quote
