Exterreri EP - Richard Easel (Specimen Records)



Title: Exterreri EP 

Artist: Richard Easel

Label: Specimen Records

Cat Number: SPECTRO - 019

Genre: Electro

 

A1: Exterreri

A2: Exterreri (Datawave Remix)

B1: Smooth Vibrato

B2: Smooth Vibrato (Federico Leocata Remix)

 

Well this is nice . . . two original versions and complementary remixes. Yes. Excuse me while I extract some liquid refreshment from my antique 16th century globe and settle back into the days of future past. It doesn't do to postulate on track titles too much, but I can’t help knowing that ‘exterreri’ translates as ‘nightmare’, so I’m immediately drawn to concepts. The title track is great and carries a bittersweet menace along with it and the power to suggest that all is not quite as it seems. Datawave’s bass heavy acidicly twanging remix complements it very well. ‘Smooth Vibrato’ feels like a wayward journey through the portals of Hades, with Federico Leocata’s remix being less fluid, but more emphatic. It’s a record which you should give your attention to while having a strobe flickering nearby.
