Anoesis - The Anoesis EP - 19-Sep-04 05:51 PM
Thick slices of analogue synth sweeps, chugging bass lines, deep house beats with a nice layer of funky breaks underneath, and 303s all over the place. This EP could be defined as funky trance.

Tainted Two - This Is Not A Dream Song - 19-Sep-04 05:21 PM
This classic song uses plenty of old-school elements. Hardhouse/new beat drums, a Speak & Spell vocoder voice, and deep "LFO" type basslines. The keyboard hook is from The Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This.

Various - The Sperm Bank - 08-Sep-04 01:21 AM
A nice big heaping portion of spaced-out trance with 303 acid squiggles layered over the various tunes. Lots of nifty little bleeps and blips, some scattered vocals and well-timed breakdowns create a lush sonic landscape. This was considered solid stuff in the mid '90's, though now most would think of it as filler.

Evolution - Metropolis - 04-Sep-04 01:35 AM
A moment of pure clarity from Sasha. Done over a decade ago, it still has the right ingredients to move a crowd. The breakdowns are lengthy, filled with body-chilling pianos. The four-on-the-floor beat chugs along with a nice snapping snare. If you can get your hands on this rare gem, consider yourself fortunate!

Erasure - Chorus - 29-Aug-04 11:05 AM
Please don't mistake this for a synth-POP record. Nice production all around by innovative producers made this a very big record. A sporadic use of Andy Bell's vocals certainly helped these feel more like late-night club tracks than radio-friendly hits. The EP is mostly trance and house, but there are some nice breakbeat moments to be had, too.

Youth's approach to "Chorus" was a very spaced-out sound, with lots of staccatoed blips and bleeps bouncing around over the top of a elegant synth wash. He also employed a surging, but not overwhelming, bassline and a funky break beat interspersed throughout.

Dave Bascombe's touch was about the only misstep on the EP. Just not much was happening in the energy department and the vocals, in my opinion, condemned this version. Of course, the song is by ERASURE, so I guess he felt obligated to use them...

Justin Robertson, in the heart of his Lionrock phase, managed to break out of his usual palette of tones. The remix of "Snappy" is fun and funky! He samples most of Vince Clarke's sounds from the original version, but adds a breaks drum loop under the house beat.
