Review:

 

The second EP of XV Kilist from Switzerland. One of the best selling Spiral

Trax EP's at its time and with a reason: both tracks are f*** great! They can

rock a dancefloor up side down.

Although the EP was released quite some time ago, and is not available anymore,

I think it should be reviewed so that people can understand what all this X.V.

Kilist fuzz was about.

"Kante" contains crazy sounds arranged in an intelligent way. It has a sample

that makes me grin just becuase of the sound of it. It goes like: "Ich kann

die Fernwehn nicht mehr so wichtig absetzen... Oh!", or something that sounds

simulair. It's in German anyway. =] After this sample, when the music peaks at

3/4 of the track, a bassline comes in that sends thrills up my spinal column.

"Gummi" has a very simular sound, though the samples here are present in a less

obvious way. The rythms in the track are just awsome. And, the track has been

released on a compilation too.

To wrap up: these tracks are funny, groovy and able to induce drug like rushes.

Dancefloor killers...

Chaos recs had me believing that this 12 inch was a killer-however Kante was

allright-nothing mindblowing and structurally pretty week and gummi was a load

of minimal bollox-give me something TIP or 3 d vision anyday!

I love the track Gummi. Yes, it's somewhat minimal, but so what -- this automatically means it's crap?! :rolleyes: I'm sure I've heard tracks with less layers before, these ones are just well concealed! Unfortunately I've never heard the original of Kante so I can't comment.
