so the last of the three i mentioned about that gonkyburg thing is andreas saag and i can talk about any track of his since they are mostly quality. this track was on, as far as i know, the first release by saag and was put out by gothenburg label hollow. the ep is far more known for it's b-side "the music in her eyes" which features the vocal stylings of yukimi nagano.
both tracks on the ep have the distinct production values and musical content that would consist as the backbone of saag's future productions. you hear the fender rhodes noodling and the both complex and simple groove & rhythms that are built by using both live sounds and samples.
this track starts in halftime and the first part that serves as a sort of a masters at work meets herbie hancock thing and then slowly shifts into a meatier four on the floor. all the usual rhodes stylings and moog bass twiddlings are present in the mix and also a guitar by henrik cederblom (not that i know who that is, this tidbit is discogs info).
i really like how saag used the halftime in the begining and the middle to make it a more dynamic track but also a way to give djs something to work with. i think it's interesting to throw this in with newer records and with broken beat excursions to contrast the rhythms. to be really honest when i first got the record it was for b-side "music in her eyes" which is a great song but the more i listen to this track i'm more hipped to it.
buy here (junodigital)
i also recommend to the futher look into his backcatalogue, his album as stateless is nice and his swell communication album is immense.
