Intrusion / cv313 ‎– Intrusion Dub / Subtraktive

There lives a very special moment in side B "Subtraktive". The chords lull you for 5 or 6 minutes during the intro phase. If you have your bass levels up you'll notice a barely audible sub-bass begins to appear, and then soon after, the kick. Minimalistic dubbed out sonic perfection. CV313 has laid down a monster.

Yesterday morning I checked this release and noticed that 133 people have it, despite only 100 copies being in circulation. Hmm, I thought. Looks like another release where Rod Modell and crew accidentally ran off 1000 copies of the album instead of 100 as they promised. So I sent a complaint to him via email and received a reply today:

"hi tennant

Unfortunately all the mixes sound very similar (the nature of techno), but I have been hunting them all down (the DC 150 copies mix II is my favourite, it's got some lovely hissing). I'm still missing the Echospace Glacial mix and will give $500 for it.

Mystery solved, and I am glad to serve the Discogs community as usual.

One of my favorite productions of Rod Modell. There is a certain quality with this song I cannot compare to many others. Imagine you are a fish swimming in a fish tank looking out at the world from an underwater universe, it is bright and full of color. I've read color has an influence with Rod's work, if this is true this song would be blue and white. Blue looking out into the water with the white sparkle of the lights reflecting the tide coming in. I recommend experiencing this with your eyes closed and with the above picture in mind, it is remarkable.

Another strictly limited release by Rod Modell & Co, this time to 100 copies. Restricting the number of copies has always been part of the deepchord ethos, the elusiveness adding to the demand. This release is no exception and a lot of listeners are going to be left in the cold (literally), the trademark warm, rich chords embrace your ears and echo around your brain. This release is on par with some of the best deepchord material; think dc10 given the 'Radio Fore' treatment. Essential...
