fresh 2010 repress !! maybe silent servant (aka john mendez) has been at the coloured sweeties and fizzy pop, as the two tracks for >negative fascinations< are decidedly more upbeat than offerings on his previous three sandwell district releases, or indeed his own historia y violencia label. that s not to say that they are exactly cheery though - the string-like drones of >discipline< will doubtless send a shiver up the spine of many a raver - but >demonstration< certainly ups the tempo by a notch or two compared to the much deeper flavours that we have become accustomed to. an accomplished enhancement of his production, whilst remaining true to his trademark textured sound...
