2 bit pie - soto mundo

on the small rack of cd's i have on my desk i have a some albums that i either listen to. or just they have just been there for ages and i'm lazy to actually move them to where i store my records, singles and albums. they are also just to show what i sort of listen to but not that anyone cares since that logic falls flat if they look at my last.fm.

these albums include whitney's "my love is your love"; stephen simmonds' "alone"; strange cargo (william orbit)'s "hinterland"; bent's "programmed to love"; vivian green's "a love story"; avril's "that horse must be starving"; d'angelo's "voodoo" and 2 bit pie's "2 bit island".

this album i found on a sale and it was the two disc promo (?) edition with the instrumental versions (and two extra tracks) on the second disc. 2 bit pie is as any discogslurker or electronic music fan would know the incarnation of fluke after mike tournier decided to create his own project "syntax".

i quite like fluke but i'm not like friend mart who is a big fan of them and tries to collect most fluke related things. i'm more of a casual fan but i haven't found any fluke tracks that have sucked really.

this track is one of my favourites on the album and it's mostly the combination of big soaring operatic vocals and an instrumental that is quite "big beat". heavy drums, a moving bassline, guitars and a whole lot of energy and breakdowns that work like calm before the storm.

yeah, ok that combination isn't just big beat but this track sounds like an unreleased fluke remix of chemical brothers' "electrobank". and i just love it for how it is. it's just so much raw drive and it's very much big beat in it's song structure. reason being that it's all bang and no chunks of drums and beats.
