Rated 5/5
Review by jazzliscious May 06, 2004
This is perhaps my favorite Drop Bass release of them all. It employs a style that I never particularly liked much in techno (as a whole), but on this release it just sounds great - minimalism. It's not so much the kind of minimalism that became standard after 1995, though. These tracks are sparse, but they also aren't like thirteen-minute epics that do the same thing from beginning to end. They are concise and use minimalism effectively. And not every track sounds the same, there are refreshing changes of flavor and only a couple display outlandish similarities. It's bound to happen on a 2x12". I've long since forgotten (I don't think I ever even knew them by name!) the names of the tracks, but there's one that sounds like a gong going "bong" and thus became locally known as "the bong song", and another that sounds remarkably like two robots having sexual intercourse without any lubricant in the gears - basically some really groovy, unique stuff! I give many kudos to Woody for what to me is probably his best release ever. But I've heard only about a third of his released material. It's not as though I was following Woody around the country like a dead-head! A very unique and tasty venture in the old days of techno drudgery.
