Guest Stormbringer Posted December 17, 2001 Share Posted December 17, 2001 Zenglodon - Spice Artist: Zenglodon Title: Spice Label: Baluns Date: 2001 Track listing: 01. Melange 02. Precious Substance Review: My first contact with the Polish trance-scene was the track "Corki Lota" made by the Bigwigs (Roehr, Przezdziécki & Magnuszewski) and I had it at position 22 on my top 50-list of the best psy-tracks from 2000. If I had the chance to make a new list with the best tracks from that year it would most certainley be a top ten track now because it´s still an awesome track! Then I got a copy of the Tromesa (Roehr & Magnuszewski) ep "Owig Weg" from the Spiral Trax International label... and I didn´t like it at all (then!). Some time passed and then this year a Tromesa-album was released, 2 Praecox-ep´s (Prezdzierki) and a Bigwigs ep... I LIKED THEM ALL!!! And I really like this ep made by Zenglodon (Roehr & Przezdziecki) too!!! I know I´ve used the term "warm groove" several times when I´ve reviewed other records but now it´s time to use the new term "cold groove" :-D This ep is very monotonous ,as most Baluns-records, but it has some of that cold industrial flavour that the Praecox ep´s got too. This ep isn´t nearly as aggressive as the Praecox ep´s but it´s still pretty nasty if you ask me. "Melange" (8/10) sounds very similar to several tracks from the Tromesa-album so if you like that sound this 12" won´t disappoint you. It´s minimal but industrial and chilly too. Monotounous as hell but what did you expect? "Precious Substance" (7/10) got more of a tech-house feeling to it, but the kind of frosen house that makes your tongue stick if you dare to stick it out?. Monotonous? Answer: YES! Grinding? Answer: YES! Cold Groove? Answer: YES!!! If you´ve liked the other releases from these three Polish guys then you´ll just have to get this one too! So many different projects but it´s only three people making this kind of music. I want more!!! Give me more!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nois[at]techmedia.poznan[dot]pl Posted December 19, 2001 Share Posted December 19, 2001 They'll certainly give you more I'am a quite close friend to the guys, I've heard their recent live'acts and I know that the next years will be full of the great music from Poland. To Stormbringer: Check 'Kino Oko' on hadshot. This is a solo project from Magnuszewski, and I think You may like it also. And the Zenglodon itself is veeery good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
