Just got advances on some new WARP stuff: * PLONE- WAP107CDP 70's Kraut inspired and gleefully referred without sounding too obvious . Vocoders, happy tinny underscored beats, squelch, with a bit of Plank-isms here and there. This to me, is a vibe that Air strive for but underachieve. Plone has captured a space age, retro 70's am ez/ listening radio vibe that is totally fun *and* unpretentious. Yipee! Not as *serious* or IDM as a lot of Warp but so what? * TLS ( Weatherall- Tenniswood ) - WAP106CDP Electro, baby, electro. Well, not completely. Electro, 80's pop dance, sexy moods, Detroit simplicity and even a beat box industrial shuffle here and there. I'm also feeling some late 80's white boy Brit funk a la ACR and 400 Blows, though that might just be *my* reference point. Track 4 kicks the hardest, riding the crest between a sped up Egyptian Lover and Drecyiya. Bangin' all round! Track 5 , A d+b track ( sort of ) and 6, a fast bleeper end the show with this one. Sexy and upbeat. Great.
