Notal starts the show with a deviant electro funk burner,” Ancient Theory” a piece rolling with some 909 hats saturating the bass drum and an hypnotic arpeggiator bringing a rigid edge to the track, well balanced by a grainy Pad theme in the middle, smoky as the motor city can be. The second one, “Informal Utility", invite us into a more narrative situation, with its dusty and deep synth mixed with some perfects 909 claps, it’s like a Chicago track high on codeine, sipping the beat until the party end. Talking about liquid, the flip side ouverture, “Side Huit", got a slight diffuse Drexcyian vibe, an aquatic resonance bouncing onto the frenetic drums sounds of the 606. This is a weird and efficient tool for special people. the ending title “Clear Mind” is a more geometric dub affair, the bassline going back and forth with/against the drums. While it sounds calm on the surface, there’s a lot of restrain angst hiding behind, convulsing all along this mental tune.
