There’s a confidence about this release which, tempo-wise, could bridge the gap between techno and disco. Except for Nightwave’s interpretation of ‘Control’, which,is the most unrestrained cut here. Johnny Aux’s mix is a minimal, burbling beast that doesn’t ever get out of second gear, but still manages to be pervasively menacing. The original version of said track could hold its own in any situation, sticking a flanging 303 to layered beats and an insistent percussive garnish. ‘State Of Mind’ makes its moves in a similar fashion, with the addition of a level of syncopation in its second half. And ‘Wild Calling’ makes use of a spoken word and more concave beats. Hard, but not hard, if you understand.
