Info:
Deeply Concerned With The Here And Now Versus Sister Label Was/is Electro Archaeology, Is/was Delivers The Goods Once Again With This Various Artists 12- Zeroed In On The Pittsburgh Scene. You Can Feel The Steel City Tension Reverberating In Naeem S Edgy Beatdown -forward Facing-, While Hits Only Takes Things In A Slightly Cleaner, Modernist Direction That Aligns With Some Of The Uk Soundsystem Interpretations Of Electro That Have Emerged In Recent Years. Shawn Rudiman Takes Control For The B Side With Two Jams That Tip Their Cap To The Veteran Producer S Long And Accomplished Career, But They Sound As Fresh As Anything Else On The Record Too. -derelict- Is A Gnarly, Bloated Banger Of A Track, And -asimolar- Takes The Route Towards Cybotron, Kraftwerk And The Truly Foundational Version Of Electro In All Its Lysergic Glory.
