SCAN X - NEOROTRONIK (F COMMUNICATIONS)

This is Dave Mothersole's "Vital Release" from June Muzik magazine

SCAN X
Neorotronik
(F Communications, France)

-For a music form that prides itself in being forward looking, techno hasn't been that revolutionary of late. You could agree there's more innovation around r&b or even UK garage right now. That's precisely why this little gem is sitting pretty at the top of this little page, because unlike almost everything else this month, 'Neurotronic' actually sounds mad,bad and wonderfully dangerous to know, with dramatic, high pitched strings clearing a path like a daisy cutter bomb, before a Moroder b-line storms in amidst an artillery barrage of urgent hats and rides. The whole thing just races along, breaking down, kicking back in and finally dropping out, job done. A truly awesome and a very welcome slab of vynal from F Comm.

5/5

(I like Mothersole's reviews cause he is informative, brutally honest (he once called Josh Wink a lazy prick when he reviewed his Freak EP!) and funny at the same time.

I had a listen, but wasnt really feeling it.

well freak is a pretty lazy ep...I mean, a vocal, an 808/909 and a 303...

And wasn't there some argument with Daniel Bell who reckoned he'd stolen the idea for the track off him or something?

Anyhow I had a listen to Scan X but it wasn't really me. I do tend to check stuff if I remember positive reviews of it, like that one..

yeah poor old Wink copped it from everywhere with that one!!! have to say i felt "freak" was pretty average too.

im yet to hear that scan x tune. but i do have some of his/their? previous stuff on Soma which i like.
