Technic Of Removal
07/2007 - smallfish records
The wonderfully atmospheric 'Technic Of Removal'is a work of some substance. Their penchant for capturing stealthy recordings from police scanners and the such like has manifested itself recently with titles such as Blackout on the U-cover 3" label and this release certainly follows in those footsteps. Hearing the disembodied voices crackling away lends a certain cinematic quality to the opening track and as it evolves over time into an off-kilter, rhythmically powerful work with resonating chords and analogue style lines cutting into the mix, it really works to make a dense and deep experience. 'Removal' is no less hefty in its approach, although there's a tangibly lighter sense of progression to the track, albeit with an abstract, clicky and off-kilter flavour. Muted, deep and distant sounding, once again it uses rhythms that punctuate and wonderfully evocative chords that tend towards a Berlin feel at times. 2 tracks that are full of quintessential Ontayso goodness.
