Unknown Artist - Ugandan Speed Trials

farmathon, Jul 02, 2008

Really smart 12" for fans of the Surgeon/British Murder Boys/Female school of precision minimal techno. I can also hear hints of Monolake and T++ in there. Side A is a warehouse banger, a wicked cavernous digital ping-pong break that slips into 4/4 time about halfway through. Some of the elements are very reminiscent of "Quoth" by Polygon Window, one of my favorite tracks ever. Unlike a lot of other stuff in this genre, the programming is not repetitive, but manages to propel along without getting too busy. Side B is basically a Versioned Side A, very similar in feeling, slightly different beat patterns. Very highly recommended.
