REVIEW

Deep 2 - The title says it all, this is a truly nice piece of deep techno and it wouldn't surprise me if this one started going on rotation in Berlin clubs. The solid bass and kick foundation are surrounded by an arpeggiated synth and a Primeval sounding chord structure. Nice punctuation from hats and white noise and the well thought out reverb and placement of the sounds make this one very nice piece to listen to.

Under the Water lifts the pace from Deep 2 but is equally as well worked. This track features a punchy kick but not one to slam your head in. The track is framed with very nice reverb that encapsulates. The bass line works in tandem with the chord comp producing a very powerful effect. The overall frequency would ensure a rumble in the stomachs of the crowd when played on a good system.

Bamboo is also very aptly titled. The purveying percussion sound has a hollow bamboo feel about it. Some metallic percussion adds to an East Asian feel about the track. The track could be compared to some work by Cristian Vogel, with a heavy focus on the rythmic aspects of the track, with no prominent synth to speak of. This track is light hearted and would definitely get a crowd moving in the right direction when coming out of a heavier set.

Overall this is yet another fantastic well rounded release by Warp.. starting off another year with some very good music indeed.
