Guest Deep Fried Everything Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 From Earplug: German producer Sven Schienhammer (aka Quantec) is obviously in thrall to the chiaroscuro minimalism of what Simon Reynolds termed "heroin house" — that slowly mutating, blissful merger of dub, ambient, house, and techno pioneered in the '90s by labels like Basic Channel and Chain Reaction. Like DeepChord, Schienhammer is returning to those basics, and, unsurprisingly, Unusual Signals takes its time; pulses tangle together, and hiss warps and weaves helix shapes, while rhythms tap and thud in the background. Panning across the stereo spectrum becomes a major event; in some of these tracks, it's nearly the only development. Everything's cooled-off and blue-to-grey, but if at first the emotional scale here leans toward the melancholy, after negotiating Unusual Signals' full 80-minute sprawl, a sweet, zoned-out numbness takes hold. - Jon Dale --- Anyone heard dis?
