Hyper Orbit - The Burrell Connection (Craigie Knowes)


Title: Hyper Orbit
Artist: The Burrell Connection 
Label: Craigie Knowes
Cat Number: CKNOWEP11
Genre: Techno

1: Hyoer 14.255
2: Hyoer 480
3: Orbit 458
4: Orbit 512

This feels like a release spanning four facets of hardcore, with both ‘Orbit 458’ and ‘Orbit 512’ going down a chasm in search of solitude. As for the other two, they each have their own story to tell. Damned if I know what it is though. Much more frenetic they are; ‘Hyper 480’ is a little too busy for my ears, but the omnipresent cosmic lull that underpins it manages to maintain some semblance of control; it’s proto drum and bass coupled with chaos. ‘Hyper 14.255’ is a more dynamic reflection of ‘Orbit 512’, with breaks cascading over acid welts and deep, synthesized, resonant cataracts. This is a very versatile and interesting release that I can’t quite make my mind up about, but look forward to having many more meetings with.
