Kit Clayton - $x=$moles*$avocadoes; - 22-Sep-04 11:01 PM
The title is sometimes referred to as "Moles & Avocadoes" since its easier to pronounce this way. This is one of Claytons more dancefloor-friendly releases. Nice driving minimal tech-house on the a-side. "WShape Revisited" on the b-side is a long minimal track that syncopates 2 simple gamelan-like percussion samples against each other while a 4/4 kick slowly creeps in behind them. The sparse structure and dualing rhythmic elements create a nice hypnotic mood with just enough tension and swing that it could work in a minimal dancefloor set as well.

Ampoule is a great label all around, but this is my favorite single on the label by far. Lush and dubby electronica at its finest. The a-side could fit in a techno set with its driving beat moving underneath a heavy layer of melodic warm textures, while the other side is roaming into ambient electronica territory. Nice rich production and would fit nicely with Chain Reaction, Aphex Twins ambiet works, Biosphere, etc.

This release deserves a bit of commentary for its novel and unique creation. It has been praised by lo-fi-digital music heads as well as scratch and battle djs since it combines Atari and Commodore64 samples, soundbites, lock groove beats, and even a couple respectable techno-break tracks that were programmed on the original machines. One side is Atari-centric and the other is devoted to the C64. There are also a couple audio-encoded programs for the Atari and C64 systems on this disc that can be used to install old public domain 8-bit audio software for each respective platform. These guys are dedicated to authentic 8-bit artwork and this release is a fine document to their progress in the medium.
