Barouf - Growing Up

Talk about evolution, the previous acidic endeavors from Barouf were nice (the split w/Octodred on LES, solo on Neurotrope, Euphorik 01 - that one actually deserves more than a "nice" rating) but this here illustrates a more advanced stage entirely. The records previously mentioned employ only one bassline which, done effectively can result in a pretty good got-damn good utmostfear, but there is another level added when one bassline is played off another.

"Growing Up" and especially "Nantes by Night" are modern and original acid tracks that utilize multiple basslines in a way that is enlightening and mindfucking simulataneously. Mid-tempo acid that starts tame enough but less than halfway thru what emerges is a 2nd line that takes over the track with commanding and tweaking basslines that take the track into unexplored levels. Modern mindfuck acid ... almost makes me want to dose 13 years after the fact.
