The very first Basic Channel.
A quarter of an hour of Enforcement, plus a Jeff Mills remix, and an ameliorative dub.
Still thrillingly no-prisoners and 100% unmissable.
Two superb, dark, signature dubs with unlikely shoots of upful disco and smack-bottom electro naughtiness.
Originally released in 1993 on Planet E.
Almighty dubs of Iām Your Brother ā Round One, on Main Street.
Q-Loop proper ā fourteen minutes of mesmerising, dread minimalism ā and the vinyl debuts of Q1.2 and Mutism.
‘The Dark Of The Psychic Unknown’.
‘Psychological Drama’.
You can hear their stage experience in ‘the sizzle and swing of the percussive highlights here, programmed with a serious depth and wriggle that reflect both an extension of and return to form. Considerations of the machine-human interface, neurological realities and physical probabilities dominate. But these tracks are economical and precise, glittering with emotional depth and cinematic effects. The album’s core, a three-act movement of symphonic uncertainty and revelation, marks one of the pair’s most evocative compositions in a career full of them.’
The Basic Channel maestro takes on Konono. So brawling and bad-minded, dense and intense, and musically expert, it amounts to a ritual humiliation of the genre Dub Techno.
Classic, rampers, dread, Berlin techno; Basic Channel style.
Judge No Sympathy in session.
All four Mohems so far… scorchers.
