Guest Stormbringer Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 Paste - Noerg / Progress Artist: Paste Title: Noerg / Progress Label: Boshke Beats Date: 2001 Track listing: 01. Noerg 02. Progress Review: This is the first release from a very promising new label called Boshke Beats. Their website http://www.boshkebeats.com is frequently updated and one of the best trance-/techno-sites out there, check it out! This record was released almost a year ago but as the label Boshke Beats lacked some real distribution I´ve had to wait until now to get it. It was just impossible to find it in any ordinary recordshop, but it shouldn´t be a problem to find their records anymore now when they got distribution by Cosmophilia. Keller & Sonderegger have released a lot of EP´s during the last year but this is one of my favourites. The dry and minimal almost barren sound of Paste can sometimes be just too much, or should I say too little? The sound of this EP follows in the same footsteps as their other releases, but I don´t think that it´s that extremely minimal as some of their other records have been. "Noerg" got dark echoing noises, almost like a thunderstorm at long distance, mixed with a ticking beat and cluttering percussion. As allways with Paste-music the intensity increases towards the end. "Progress" is much more energetic, if you can use that term at all when describing Pastes music? It got a slow but pumping metallic beat combined with some crazy noises and a voicesample with Arnold from "Terminator". This EP is one of the coldest and darkest Paste made so far, atleast that´s my opinion, but if you´ve liked their previous work you´ll probably like this too. As I said above, this is one of their best EP´s! For more information about Paste go to: http://www.pasteten.info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest shaolin shuffle Posted May 9, 2002 Share Posted May 9, 2002 Just ignore the above reivew by yet another weak minded whiner. I agree with Stormbringer this is one of the best Paste EP to date. "NOERG" is such a killer that its hard not to listen to it again and again! overall this is my favourite Paste ep and I hope they would continue to make music in such hypnotic manner =] 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mergi Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Noerg is completly devoid of any melodies, instead we get an armada of effects and sounds that fades out and in. The beginning is filled with a continous rumbling, almost like some enormous spaceship is passing over your head way too close, along with cluttering effects that rebounds and fades out. Then it goes into it's regular 4 by 4 rhythm and at first this seems to be all that we'll get, but they do manage to make one sustain interest due to the everchanging build up of the track. Suddenly it's filled with a mosaic of effects, not too much either so there's nothing to get lost in yet still much to listen to. Somewhere in the latter part it breaks of suddenly with a drawn out sound of a gun being fired (abundantly used earlier in the track as well), the track comes back with a real cool wobbly fluctuating effect. Also in this part they add much more effects used as percussion and this combination of sounds is, imo, really nice to just listen to. Progress is a strange tweaked piece of music. The intro build up is quite long but it settles into a beat and bassline after a minute and a half. Once again there's not much going on, but it quickly breaks of mainly to add a long sequence of some sort of melodyloop. Very strange sounding indeed as it is not much of a melody but it certainly is another one of those things I can just sit and listen to again and again because it fits so perfectly into the already existent atmosphere.
