i picked up the cdsingle for "i'm going away" some years back and i didn't know what to expect as i knew two names on it but for different kind of music. varano or morten hansen was one half of the project and i knew him for his more loungy affairs and the likes and bjørn svin i knew for his wonderfully charming techno. but this is prior to both of what varano would pull out on his own label murena records and what bjørn svin would unleash with the masterpiece that is "mand over bord".
to some extent the music that svin provides with this remix is close to that but far from the techno he would make as cygnet committee. puddu varano themselves started out as big beat project before transitioning into the type of sounds varano himself would known for and "i'm going away" reaks of something desperately wanting to be tom & ed or norman cook's setlists. svin decides to kick the track in the nuts and do a full on hardcore remix with all of the trimmings.
svin plays up the clichés of the genre to a ten and with the vocal sample pitched right up, cut up breakbeats in the beginning, reverse bass and a hook that is mindnumbingly stupid. the bassline plays of the melody of vocal sample and so does the hook but there is more to the melodic structure of the leadline. i do wish he'd gone more into weirder territories with the remix and there is glimpses of it throughout where it could have been more outrageous.
basically playing the clichés to an eleven if you say so, to a certain degree it could have turned out even more idiotic. however this piece of music isn't trying to be ophidian or serious well made hardcore so no one would care.
