Porter Ricks: Trident 12" (Force Inc) Thomas Koner and Andy Melwig return to their Porter Ricks guise for a new two-tracker of deep murky techno much more in the Biokinetiks style than their previous few releases. The a-side starts with deep bubbling synths then build with a deep 4x4 baseline and slowly adds intermittent acid lines, metallic percussion noises and melodies that give the track a somewhat chaotic sound. But the real winner is the b-side which is a long deep filtered bc-esque techno track. It starts with a gurgling synth line then kicks in with the signature deep muted baseline and spacious-droney synth beds. Similar to the bc-stuff, the track pretty much stays the same from there. The b-side is a real gem. Good to see Porter Ricks going back to the deeper sound of their earlier releases. 7/10 . The Family Album comp cd (Language) Tracks: . Chrome: Melody . Endemic Void: Dark Blue . Elixir: Ballad For Lisa And Peter . Buckfunk 3000: Information . Nad: Silence Descends . Tao: Scroll . Circadian Rhythms: Time . Phosphorus: Surrender . Bio Muse: Socially Bankrupt All for around $10. Nothing like inexpensive IDM.
