Label : Themes International Music
Value :
Released in the same year as Synthesis over on KPM, 1974’s Synthesizer and Percussion
is its essential companion piece. “This record features the many
distinctive sounds of the ARP Synthesizer plus percussion in various
moods and tempos” is the even more underwhelming than usual library
record sales pitch for Alan Hawkshaw and Brian Bennett’s second
collection of what is basically minimal G-funk, with overtones of
primitive acid house. This is ridiculously good.
This is one of
Hawkshaw and Bennett’s wilder joints and aeons ahead of its time.
Bennett’s tough drums provide the underpinnings for the prominent bass,
keys and bubbling synths high up in the mix, alongside Hawkshaw’s
deranged clavinet-funk-rock. There are heavenly break loops galore.
