Clement Meyer ‎– Midnight Madness EP

noooon bruce tu n'as pas changeeeee

First EP... But maybe one of the least interesting vinyl out there. Not a really good start for this young label.

The first track, "A Bucket Of Blood" tries to set a deep and horror atmosphere, but fails in almost every points. The cyclic rhythm is boring and far from frighting, and the small sounds padded here and there are done in a random ways that lost the listener in a more painful way than one can handle. Well, it's a beginner track, for sure, but why on a released record? Doesn't people work a bit more before releasing stuff?

"Midnight Madness" is a bit better, but still very young in its construction and very repetitive. Surfing on the "minimal" hype we had a few years ago, it would have been a very played track back then... But nowadays people tends to get used to theses sounds and ask for more feelings & rhythm.

The Sian's remix of the first track adds a bit of mastering in the musical construction, a much clever version. But even with that, the original track is so bad the remix can't do much without making a totally different track... Too bad.

The Olibusta's remix is the most funny one... I though it was a joke first. We're in 2010 and people are still releasing some tribal tech-house stuff like theses... Impressive! We're back in the good old days of success from Thick Dick or X Press 2's stuff or the worst Masters At Work remixes... Ride on! It's 2001! Btw, it was lame back then, it's still lame now... No wonder why it's not on the vinyl record but only by digital download!
