this one is from stacey pullen's album "todayisthetomorrowthatyouwerepromisedyesterday" and i didn't completely what to expect when i bought it. i knew the track "vertigo" through the 4hero remix but i was expecting something techno or housey.
there is one track that is four on the floor and even that rides a swing but the rest is experimentation of breakbeats, broken beat and dare i say it, freejazz. i can hear the james brown and sun ra references in many of the tracks where it's not aimed for the regular dancefloor. that is actually a whole lot of the album since he goes into all sorts of wonkery.
it's all very detroit in it's state of mind since it has that futuristic notion that pullen have been toying with on his previous releases. this track i don't even know what to define it as, but it's sure is good. it focuses on it the unorthodox drumpattern and a moogbass along with two sections of long chord progressions.
this track has the kraftwerk influence but in it's melodic section but for it's rhythm it's not anything that i had heard before. it's probably because of it's proper mechanical feel that it doesn't have the swing of a drummer and it all feels programmed even with it's randomness. it rocks a 9/8 for it's timesignature but it does throw me off have me thinking it's 7/8 but that's a good thing.
