Help, Mr D Bell has been robbed, some might say. One can really not overlook the similarities with DBX's "Losing Control" and "Baby Judy". But my dears, it's a compliment because Mr A Gehm has created a retro-sounding and heavily pumping release that it's unique in year 2008. Bass drum infected minimal tracks stand out in 2008 and have a decent portion of lo-fi approach in it. The volume needs to be turned on the enjoy it in full extent.

Acid does not necessarily mean squelching bass lines and breath-taking pace. This is a prime example of creating hypnotic and dreamy acid excursions that could be even classified as chill out music. Three of tracks were picked once for Transcore compilation of Mid-West acid gems and they really set the mood for that release too.
Of four tracks "Aristotle" is of slightly different breed and more directed to the floor but it rounds nicely up this excellent release by the grand master Fresh.
A timeless release that works well also years later.

Awesome release und I'm surprised to see current 3.8 rating. Woody is a very prolific producer and one of the acid kings. This release belongs to acid's Hall of Fame. "Wall of Confusion" stands out as a track of real killer bees. I heard it first time 1996 palying at Techno Import store in Paris and the whole EP hit me immediately. Funky and hypnotic stuff from the master.

Second release by Gerard Hanson on Down Low Music, probably a much anticipated one. With its deep and dubby sounds it bears some likelihood with dlVEXT1, but rolls more in a melancholic vein (like Delsin, Arne Weinberg). On the B-side it steps subtly on the electro fields. Again a mesmerising oeuvre by the man from Dallas.

Awesome release with a skilful mix of opera-like spoken word on the B-side assisted by good tech-house beats. B1 is a hectic stand-up-comedy-like piece while B2 gives a deeper mood. A-side is rather dubby and relaxing. Keep going, UND.

Guess what, I can't get rid of the "have heard it hundred times"-feeling. The beats kick and acid lines bubble, but something's missing. Good piece of plastic for the floor but nothing exceptional. Anyway, Freestyle Man is still a phenomenon.

As observed by many it's the first one-rhythm-album by the Rhythm & Sound. Different vocals give variations to the largely unchanging rhythm patterns and do not allow any kind of boredom to emerge. Getting once again a step closer to the reggae the R&S still manage to sound very deep as we know from BC/CR times.
