Guest Mescalinium Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 Pylon And Pacesetter - Storm / All Purpose Artist: Pylon And Pacesetter Title: Storm / All Purpose Label: Manta Date: 2002 Track listing: 01. 09'40" Pacesetter : All Purpose 02. 09'26" Pylon : Storm Review: This is the first release from the Auckland, NZ-based Manta record label. Pylon is the Strom Brothers (Antix) and Pacesetter is their collaboration with Tomasz Balicki (Atmos). The a-side is a slow, steady, bass rumbler, which employs those scratchy, technoid percussions we've all become so familiar with, and a deeply hypnotic monotone bassline. It's an interesting mix of styles, and I'm sure it'll work on the dancefloor, but at the same time it's a bit too repetitious for its own good. The b-side picks up where the first track lets off. Pylon offers us a heavier, dryer, and more percussive take on the tech-trance sound, which definately works. There's a break at the 5 minute point, which segues into some sample-driven atmospherics. The rest of the song is one dark heavy trip, with some vocals reminiscent of the Son Kite crew. Now that I think about it, this song reminds me a lot of "Driveshaft". And that's a good thing! Overall, a very solid debut release; I will look forward to many more from this new label. 8/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Defbydelta... Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 Damn This 2 Track ROCKS!!! And what if the movie MATRIX wasn't made?? how many songs does not use a vocal from it?! a psychedelic movie.. The First Track is AWSOME!! so nice Tempo all Through.. the second one is DEEP, even better, u get in in it from the start just drag u in to the world of "STORM" for about 9 and a half minute, its a little like organic noise in mix with sonnenvakuum i think.. space noises? killer EP for sure!!!!!!!!!!! 8,9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
