"The title track ‘Wagon’ opens with some lovely liquefied background percussion – which rises with no-little menace until the beats drop on the minute mark, punching through some haunting synth-work. From here it’s a brooding groove throughout, with little respite, even with the break. This is dark and claustrophobic stuff that even Tim Burton would wince at – nice.
The Hypertic remix of ‘Wagon’, for me, will work best on big systems in big rooms. Typical builds with plenty of room in the production for other elements to spice things up (loops perhaps?). With this, though, I can’t help but feel that (with some more dynamics and few more elements) – this remix would stand out much better. It’ll do nicely enough though, early in a set.
The highlight for me is ‘Hyde’ – a cracking bitch-snarl of a tune. Low slung |
