From 1995’s ‘Southern Cross EP’, ‘Body Mechanics’ is a singular acid track that doesn’t highlight the 303, if that’s at all possible. The focus is the decaying riff of an electric guitar, put through an electronic mangle and draped over a linear beat. It’s ‘LSD’ that gets the most plays from this EP, and it is probably all-round the best track. But there’s a power and a contrasting deterioration that this tune brings together so well. When it was released everything on this EP was caned by the discerning techno DJ, and it’s tempting to say it was “very much of its time”. However, all six of the tracks on ‘Southern Cross’ have aged very well and still sound fresh.
