skylight - primate exhibit

this one i got from the om records compo 'environments' which was a nice but somewhat patchy collection. 'primate exhibit' felt weird for the compo though as it has a trancy kind of undertone and the rest of the tracks are housey and some breakbeat stylings but they all fit the frame of what om records sounds like. there isn't going to be a long post about the track since i haven't found any additional info about the track or if the person behind it has been responsible for other tracks. 

i really like it though and the combination of the driving breakbeat rhythm and trancelike pad sweeps and the melancholic nature of the melodics are quite good. i think it's best described as distinct'ive breaks records meets compost records.

buy here (om records digital store) note, it doesn't let you buy the individual track



edit, information from the comment by user turningfinal: "'primate exhibit' was produced by alan jones and ryan raddon (aka kaskade). equipment used included akai s3000xl, mpc2000 and a kurzweil k2000. the monkey sound was sampled off a breakbeat record from the uk. the acoustic guitar part was played by gigi love.

this was also information i could find myself on the liner notes and credits for this compilation. i know that i didn't include it because of lazyness and that i had the cd in storage in my basement as i had a copy on my computer.
