Downwards
Review: Originally released on Karl O'Connor's label back in 1999, this reissue shows that Female's second album has lost none of its white-knuckle ferocity. From the rolling beats and acid undercurrent of "No Sense / No Reason" to the dizzyingly complex rhythms of "My Untied Hands", and the rolling groove and hammering beats of "Day In, Day Out", this collection clearly provided inspiration for the loop techno deluge that followed. Tellingly though, dance floor prime techno bangers like the ear-drilling riffs-led "Because The Night" (nothing to do with the Patti Smith song of the same name) still sound vital when played beside modern day gloomy fare.

Review: The other founder of Downwards, Peter Sutton, makes his voice heard again on this reissue. Featuring two of the tracks from his 1997 debut album, Into the Exotic, this re-release reminds the listener of his unstoppable, forceful sound. "Cold Steel", from that album is a slice of classic Birmingham techno, its grubby, grimy beats and rhythm pounding away to an almost nauseating climax. "Contact", which also featured on the album, is somewhat cleaner sounding, but the same heads-down, loopy approach applies. Three also features a previously unheard Sutton composition, "Hung". It is unclear when it was produced, but the groove is more stepping and is shot through with acid undercurrents. Maybe it's the sound of this most brilliant techno artist in relaxation mode.
