who needs an obtrusively acting kickdrum, when the decent wobbling bassline of breezin does the job just as good. right nobody. or, at least peter grummich (shitkatapult/ spectral/kompakt) doesnt, whose proverbial deepness constantly gets the floors into rapturous body rolling. thus it was just a question of time to welcome this man to karloff, the label for everything thats different. here, all medium dated orientation to felt (rather than experienced) standards is gladly left to other persons of great hope, whilst enjoying the border crossing between dorky monkeyshine and serious spirit of adventure. consequently, quick thinking misbehaviour is also the attitude of the (for formal reasons called) b side, where the horizon gets canvassed for both weird and life affirming sounds, in grasp of the groove. summarizing dance music to breathe deeply.

if zox was a sculptor, his works would be angled and polished, simple and magically effective. no sound on this record (which is called >more fluff<, which astonishes me) hangs around too long between the acrylic clear beats, the square waves are bellied and cold as vodka from an iceberg, the higher frequencies refreshingly cool as hills in the highlands, and straight lines are the dominating theme by far. this is dance music in itself. the basses live in rich bounteousness which is strictly controlled, though. why boom it when you can bang it? perfect shapes, functional beauty and a refreshing taste will rock you.
