Review: Luciano doesn't release much material on his sub-label Basaec - there have only been two EP since its inception three years ago - but as Saved demonstrates, he clearly reserves the imprint for more esoteric material. That's not to say that both tracks on the third release avoid the dance floor; if anything, their lopsided but linear grooves are exactly the kind of minimal techno that we have come to expect from the Swiss-Chilean artist. But it's what happens between the rhythms that set them apart. "Lost Lymbo" (sic) resounds to spiritual vocal samples, flickering, dubby chords and swirling effects. Meanwhile on "Pato's Track", Luciano enlists the services of Argenis to turn his chattering groove into a wonderfully tropical excursion, populated by low-end squiggles and indistinguishable, hypnotic chants.
