New
release on the upcoming and quality label Boltfish, this one
is by Japan resident J.Auer with Fading from here e.p ' "a
laptop, a power supply, some software, some electricity and
my emotions". Sounds good.
"
i " ticks and pulses along like a clockwork cat full
of marbles (in its big blue acetate stomach). Destroyed
cat squeals and minature spaceships battle in the anti gravity
air like flailing butterflies in a hurricane, as glass cubes
slide down roughened gaps in your hands giving off dancefloor
worthy melodies for you and your metallic gang to enjoy.
Love it.
" iii " picks you up by your feet and flings you
into tomorrow, for no apparent reason. The day you have
already lived is a mess now, tiny robots cut and fold slices
of history into small suitcases and slam them down, giving
off bassy strikes from the foam lined carrying devices.
The acidic like bassline, is ever present and prods you
in the back of the neck with an elongated fingertip, rocking
your head back and forwards to the destroy style melody.
Its time to get on down J.Auer style.
Click,
hiss, tick, zaaappppp, bvooooooo, did someone steal my land
speeder?? because " vi " is trying to pass some
kind of message onto me. Reversed 1up samples now drain
the power from your lifemeter rather than replenishing it,
with an evil smile on its face, as the horizon is pulled
down to ground level by the heavy growing spacetime beatattack
that is happy to continue working away. Try and picture
the landscape bounding and retracting itself around like
a rogue robot attempting to escape from the authorities,
crashing his alloy arms and machine formed feet into public
furniture as the chase continues, its something like that
(if you get what I mean). Quality stuff.
"
ix " with its snare head is trying to get into your
garage again!, ah that pesky machine. The round flattened
head of your friend catches on the spring fed door everytime
he reaches for the handle and with his battery pack running
low on power, it gives off a rich thudding spacerich bassline,
that your feet cant not react to. " x " is partytime
in jellywater land, and you are the guest v.i.p. You are
bundled into the club by a big round robot, who says his
name is ' Kotrol 9' as he spins you around above his head,
you bash into the quiche like ceiling, knocking lumps of
audio food onto the dancefloor, and the cleaner droids zap
it into oblivion with their laser lips, and you wonder what
the hell is going on.
I recommend smiling and dancing, as Kotrol 9 is well drunk,
and this party goes onto 8am. Remember to smile.
"Fading
from here" ep, lit up my sleepy eyes and brain on the
dull sunday morning I reviewed it. Full of texture and character,
blended with dark electronic arcade style memories, this
one is another notch on the robotic belly for Boltfish and
J.Auer. Keep em coming lads.
Get
it, as its hard to believe its free from their www ( tracks
iii,iv,v,vi and ix are exclusive to the cdr version which
you can buy for a tiny sum from the homepage also )
