Welcome to Build-up land!!! Analog Pussy are here to drive you nuts. This is a collection of crazy dance anthems. It seems sometimes that this couple really enjoys seeing you suffer while they squeeze you with those build-ups, the breaks and the immense entrances. Analog Pussy will teach your body the joy of suffering.
The CD opens with a track dedicated to the Solipse festival. William, the organizer, opens it with: "Solipse stands for the full Solar Eclipse, one of the most amazing and powerful experiences to be witnessed by the human eye. It is- if one is lucky- a once in a lifetime experience". Then Jiga adds: "We are here to celebrate - the sun, the moon and high technology". You don't have to wait long and the first build up is here, very raw heavy synth lines, shifting and changing, dragging you up and down. They leave you there and play with you, until they come back, a break, and the real massive one hits you- complete madness.
Go Wacko! (T2) follows, very very melodic, maybe even too much, the melody keeps coming back at you, this might sooth those late morning hours.
Martian Whore (T3), is one of my favorites here. A jumping basketball base line welcomes you in, tricking you around all along. The track then jumps a level, going faster and higher, after the first build up, things calm down a bit till the next one, great melodic lines flying around, higher and higher. Then things are mellowing down to an almost complete silence and explode in your face- BOOM! What a stormer- prepare to suffer!
Track 4 is just what it says, a monotone mix to the crazy Space Janana that can be found on the Solipse Compilation. This track is right in place, giving you a break, cleaning the melodies and relaxing you mind a little. Very repetitive, hi-hats hitting you, a lot of little sound and beat games, and a very tribal ending. A nice one for the opening hours of the party.
Blue Sun (T5), keeps the monotonous beat in a darker atmosphere, but even in the beginning you get a hint of what is to come. The track breaks in the middle with electronic droplets until the expected entrance, which is a bit more 'relaxed' here.
Fight to Trance (T6), must have been motivated by the constant hassle Israeli trance artists suffer from the authorities- "we fight the right to trance, we believe in total chaos". Total chaos it is, very strong and merciless base line, uplifting melodic lines, very powerful and raw shynth work. In Anarchist (T7) Jiga starts singing that immortal Sex Pistols line, and then it's Anarchy time, a lot of melodies at work, a lot of layering of the music, and the constant build-ups and build-downs.
The title track closes this compilation and does it with force, a real exploding track and it has 11 minutes of exploding to do. Right in the start it's clear where we stand here- massive, massive, massive! Relentless pounding hitting you faster and faster, off course, accompanied by .the inevitable explosive build-ups. |
