the second release for the routine sublabel features 4 hard-kicking acidish techno tracks, all produced by cadra. 23 minutes of madness follow.

starting off on the a-side, "we've got forever" takes a wobbling acid loop with a pounding beat as a start and slowly builds up tension. cadra's put the compressor to good work, judging by the pounding feel of the bassdrum. the first half of the track is the warming up, after that we're in for some aggressive action, as the wobbling acid loop slowly evolves into a mean juno-like riff.

"talking about" is a true techno-acid hybrid. it is quite monotone and minimalistic in nature, but continues to flow due to the tight percussion lines and good breaks. though i can't really pinpoint why, it has a bit of a haunting mood over it.

the b-side, which gives the ep its name, contains two tracks named "artificial" and "untelligence". they are exactly equal in length, but explore the whole acid-techno thing in different directions. while the first track tends a bit towards ripping acid noise, the second track is taking the 'classic' 303 sound to new levels. both tracks are blunt and minimalistic in their approach, which suits the theme 'artificial untelligence' just fine.

cadra's excursion into the realms of acid-techno (i'll stop using that phrase now) will take a heavy toll on your speakers. not only the production, but also the postprocessing (i.e. mastering) sounds superb.

go check it out and be amazed!

I recently lost a big part of my music collection because of a hard drive crash. I´m recollecting all my music back, and the part that i lost includes all the releases that i downloaded from Sublogic Corporation. When i just downloaded these tracks again and listened to them again (i don´t know how many times i´ve hear this EP, but its a lot) I just want to say that i can recommend this EP for anyone to download. It´s got a nice beat all the way through, when you come to the end of Untelligence you just wished it would continue.

Keep up the quality releases Cadra :)

big fan of Talking About - massive! Carry on, cadra! :)
