Review: Interdimensional Transmissions label owner Brendan M Gillen (BMG) teams up again with long-serving Detroit DJ Plaslaiko for a deep techno/electro workout. The title track, available here in two versions, moves from the fuzzy, acid-soaked instrumental take to the original version, which navigates a path through electro-bass frequencies, acidic pulses and ponderous, pitch-bent vocals. For the rest of the release, the duo focuses on an abstract approach. "Breaking You Down" is an esoteric soundtrack of bleeps and tones; "Your Mind Is Mine" continues the pair's interest in frazzled drones - only this time without even the semblance of a groove to back it up.
Review: Digging into the story behind this behemoth of a single makes you realise what a character Sal P must be. Ectomorph's Brendan Gillen has a detailed story of how the two came to work together which touches on how Liquid Liquid stole their food rider and Principato's thoughts against marriage. It's far too detailed to recount in full but worth investigating yourself as provides some definite context for the two certified jams on this EP. "Credit Card" is stupendously good, effortlessly merging the taut punk funk swagger of Principato in his pomp with the snapping arrangement from Gillen. This is continued with "Esink", an eastern tinged percussive twister that operates at the lower reaches and sees Mr P in relatively restrained form. Big tip!
