Edited 9 years agoI first heard this track sometime in the mid 90's when dial up speeds meant that you couldn't really full tracks and one site had the brilliant idea of just serving up short loops of some tracks. The deadpan voice sounded pretty cool, nice round kick. I filed it away in my mind. I was really surprised when I heard the whole thing a few years later and realized that it pretty much is that loop for however long. I didn't know anyone would have the balls to do that. So repetitive! So techno! Like a finger raised to all who claimed techno was just the same thing over and over.
When you think about it what could be more controlled than just kick and one bar emotionless vocal loop going on forever? So the track is actually quite paranoid - it's as if it's worried that things will fall apart before it even happens. I guess if you let the full thing play out it does fall apart - the filters come in and a strange background howl takes over. You could think about it as a guy afraid to let go even the slightest bit, losing his mind in one of those self-fulfilling loops that an anxious mind can enter into.
In this way it's different from a track like , the sound coming right back to Chicago.
I guess I'll leave off a final bit of trivia where the success of this track is said to have inspired Josh Wink to do a similar thing with Don't Laugh. I like this one much better. Both got Hawtin remixes... -
