Pull of You

Have you ever heard music that completely stumps you? Music that for some unknown reason is just not structured like other music; it does not fit the mold even though it uses the same palette of sounds that everyone else uses. Records like Philip Glass' "Einstein on the Beach", Aphex Twin's "On (D-Scape Mix)", Kit Clayton's "Repetition and Nonsense" all made profound advances for their respective genres. I believe this record will have the same effect.

Ricardo Villalobos, who has been well-known for his work within the minimal techno and microhouse genres for years, offers to the world, "Fizheuer Zieheuer," an album that goes completely over the top with a dub infused Latin house micro percussion synthesizer soundtrack that hints at minimal techno, but reaches well beyond that. There is not a catchy bassline, vocal, or any distinct sound that carries the track. It is literally the absence of the hook that makes this track so effective. It references Latin America, Eastern European, and Spaghetti Western music, but is subtle in it's excecution. This release in it's entirety is over 60 minutes long, and with it Villalobos proves his mastery of dance music. This is the 12" version.
