Subverted drum'n'bassness from gerhard potuznik and hans platzgumer, which gives genre definition the austrian double-headed nipple clamp with a cherry on top.


melody maker, may 98

 

Three tracks of utterly cool modern music that take about 15 minutes to
rule and remake the world. the first runs a stand-up bass and breakbeats over a live analouge screechout that flickers inbetween harsh white noise and beautiful alien trebles. nice!
a second cut presents crazier synths, all blips and bloops, but running
like freejazz alongside brilliantly sharp and subsonic electro drum
patterns.
final cut is the "coup de grace" - breaks that rock like carl craig at his
funkiest, while the synths roll with loose grace of ray charles and classic
hammondisms. the kind of tune the word groovy was invented for - especially as it'll probably inspire them to take all their clothes off.

UPDATE, may 98

 

The Vienna label bang on foam once more with a fine three tracker that pushes at the boundaries of electro funk fusion with an ultra sharp ear for hip wiggling grooves. always wayward, never conventional, this is the kind of innovative electronica we so rarely hear these days. three tracks, each one flawless. A gem of a record.


MUZIK, Aug98

 

Wayward electronic from the blunted genius of Viennese duo Potuznik and Platzgumer. Stark dissonance joyriding the fractured electro contraflow, this is the sonic equivalent of uncontrollable shivering in the freezing wasteland of the North Pole. Like funky frostbite and a nose full of icicles, this album is as stunning in its beauty as it is freezing in its intensity. oh well - no pain, no gain...


FRONT, feb 99

 

Breakbeat, yes, but twisted beyond human recognition. Norwegians Cube & Sphere take us on a sub zero journey through fjords, forests and up craggy cliff faces. Out of the club and into the countryside, this is f'n'b at its finest!
