Tres Demented - Demented

Alain_Patrick, Mar 29, 2006

“Hah, haah haah haaah Uuuhh!” Whoever listens to this sublime, powerful “Demented (Or Just Crazy)” version by Laurent Garnier & Carl Craig will be frightened by these growls in dub and its intense, contagious and insane atmosphere. Played by most of the talented and open minded DJs in 2003 – such as Laurent Garnier himself, Mau Mau, Nisek and Stacey Pullen, this tune became almost instantly an anthem of the contemporary underground dance music.
Some tribal, pulsating beats appear on the very beginning like a kind of a trade mark of Carl Craigs music - followed by hypnotic, growling vocals whose echoes seem to evoke the most pure of the human instincts. These sounds of tribal perspective penetrate deeply into our minds, and are then adorned by tiny electronic effects, a kind of a preparation for the first drop which comes with a growing emphasis on the bass lines and a kind of rising sharp-penetrating siren sound that makes everybody shudder. The men starts to shout louder and louder, and the beats go stronger up to the total apocalypses.
This masterpiece has definitely a perfect sense of drop in & drop out timing. The harsh, chaotic hypnosis keeps everybody deeply connected to the tune, and all of a sudden comes the drop out with absolute silence in the middle of the track, leaving the listeners with a strange feeling that much more has to come. The wild screams in dub appear again from time to time, and then become more frequent, louder and more intense, together with pumping kicks and the mad siren completes the final drop, driving the dancefloors crazy again!
At least, a fantastic piece of art made for the highest-demaning audiences - to dance and to listen.
