Qlap - Magnetic Boots

 

Posted Image

 

Artist: Qlap

Title: Magnetic Boots

Label: Digital Structures

Date: 2001

 

Track listing:

 

01. Magnetic Boots

02. Puck El Pisto

 

Review:

 

Filip Mardberg gives us a supposed dance-floor oriented release under the

side-project name Qlap. I've listened to tracks produced under the name Ticon

and Tripticon before, but this music is much different. Magnetic Boots is a

very, very minimal tech-trance type sound that must ONLY sound good on large

systems... it's too boring for normal listening. It has the same beat for the

entire duration of the track, with some sound/noise -- no MUSIC to be heard

whoatsoever. The build and denoument are too drawn out in this track too --

it's a waste of a track listening to a beat and a high-hat for 6+ measures,

then hearing one more little repetitive noise thrown in. Not a good track,

2/10. Puck El Pisto has more energy to it, and more rhythm. It's a shorter

track, but you could drop the needle right at the beginning and be right into

the thick of things anyway... much more impressive. It saves this EP from

being a total waste IMO. 6/10 I wouldn't recommend this EP to anyone though.

i think rx7style is completely wrong. magnetic boots is one of the most pumping

tracks i've ever heard. it is not boring at all - the sound is strong and

groovy. if someone likes full-on then indeed it is better for him to avoid

this ep, but if you love tech-trance get it, it will leave no dancefloor

unmoved! great stuff. 8.5/10

Isn't it funny how Ticon = Filip Mardberg "Anonymous"? Or do they separate

into two people just to become Qlap? This EP sucks balls and that's all there

is to it. Even if Son Kite is involved [which I don't see any evidence of on

the record insert or casing] then he should be reprimanded as well! This is

advertised as ?TRANCE? music, not minimal techno ? I don?t even know why it?s

being allowed on to a psytrance forum. Awful garbage.

Ticon=Filip and Fredrik

Son Kite = 2 persons

Qlap = 4 persons

rx7style - "I don?t even know why it?s being allowed on to a psytrance forum.

Awful garbage." - Why did you write the review at all????

btw .... I find the tracks really nice ;)

Of course I'm silly .... I'm very silly ;) But in this case rx7 don't think it

should "be allowed on the forum" ... that is something completley different

from disliking something. But please don't missunderstand my I don't bother.

I'm happy happy .... just qlap your hands and smile :)

Whoa, I didn't realize my review would offend so many people! Seb you have to

remember that this is a review to be taken lightly: information for people to

think about when going to make their next purchase. When I said "I don?t even

know why it?s being allowed on to a psytrance forum", it wasn't because of

what I think of this EP, or a diss to the artists or anything like that...

simply that I thought it was more minimal TECHNO than anything else [bad at

that IMO], and that is why I didn't think it even qualified for the psytrance

forum... it's about as far from the genre as dub or gangsta rap, etc... that's

all -- don't take offense to what I say people, it's just me reviewing music!

Am I not allowed to voice my opinion when I don't like an EP? I like MOST

things 8^)

There is only a subtle distinction between minimal trance and minimal techno

nowadays... For example, some of the tracks form the newest album of the Delta

(like MJ Error) sound just like pure minimal techno, same with kopfuss

resonator, eargear and so on. And, even more, minimal techno artists start to

release their music on labels such as d.drum and baluns. Why? Because their

music also IS SO FUCKIN' PSYCHEDELIC! If we call the music psychedelic doesn't

mean that it has a lot of twisted electronic melodies, but that it twists your

brain, affects your mood and such. So You are allowed to tell us that You do

not like this EP, but don't tell me that this is no music, or wrong genre.

Trance is a kind of TECHNO music. And there is nothing wrong with tech-trance,

you can like it or not, but it is still psychedelic dance music, and belongs

here. Hehe... what an essay... ;)
