Do's & Dont's - (8:51) 122 BPM
I'd Like To Be - (6:06)
123 BPM Review: With just three releases to his credit, Hamid Benmessaoud has already carved out an impressive sound. The title track is a stripped back affair, powered by lopsided wayward drums and watery, filtered sounds. "I'd Like to Be" is more in keeping with Minibar's trademark approach, as muffled vocals and dubbed out drums are woven over a jerky rhythm. Finally, "Libra" sees Hamid go farther off the radar. Fuelled by jazzy licks and subtle metallic percussion, it has touches of old Swayzak - the synths have the same melancholic air - and the edgy experimental feeling of classic Perlon. That he manages to unite these two elements is to Hamid's credit.
