Spacialdimension... really nice sounds... however, "nice" might be a tad of an over-inflated reference to this genre of music. Although I couldnt provide the sufficient amount of technical information in regards to the essential production of this style of music (please feel free to enhance my experience), I can rest assure that, ever since the very inception of the first Echospace production, the listener has been taken on non-other than a complete sonic sojourn into simply an advanced mastery of delay, reverb, and tape hiss. The previous review only strenghtens my disclosure: Echospace production is by no means "inferior" to an already established genre by the likes of the much lauded Basic Channel crew, but also neither unpredictable. What drives the minor solemn masses to hord this sound on vinyl religiously, is as much as a phenomenon as any in regards to a type of music bent on exclusivity, laced with a penchant for re-perfecting a regurgitated sound. Simply put, "I love it," but otherwise, I would prefer a track-for-track re-issue of the whole original Deepchord catalogue. "If it aint broke, dont fix it." And the other faction would argue: "Echospace is an improvement on Deepchord." I couldnt agree on more an accurate paradox. Neither productions are genre defining, yet indispensable in its development. Deepchord created a lexicon that drove a sound further, and the Echospace partnership not only continued it, but "modernized" the sound in particular. In conclusion, it seems this label will never falter too far from its sound; but if you find yourself absolutely enamored with it-- look no further.
