Hot on the heels
of the first part his recently released retrospective on For Those That Knoe, Silicon
Scally, aka Carl Finlow, has unleashed this, a collection of suitably-named
tracks composed especially for a live set performed at Scand, London towards
the end of last year. This is a timely release, as no one deserves the
spotlight more when it comes to unfettered machine funk than Mr Finlow, because
there’s always the danger that the new found interest in electro will ignore
those who have been championing it for all of their long careers, in favour of
focusing on today’s trend setters. Finlow is a stalwart though, who thankfully
shows no signs of flagging. The eight tracks on here epitomize a particular
approach to the genre which will resonate with anyone who has more than a
passing interest in not only the intricacies of the music in question, but also
the waves of bass heaviness which characterize so much of the depths of classic
raving. It’s difficult to pick a favourite, so I won’t; just take my word for
it. This is a great release from someone who continually scales the heights and
doesn’t want to come down.
