This, the ninth Kouncil Kuts release and the first by label boss Mark Mackenzie is one that apparently “stray from the usual sound on KC.” Not being familiar with the label’s output until now means that I can avoid saying things like “an interesting change of direction” and just concentrate on what a great piece of uplifting synth disco ‘Euro Disco Weapon’ is and lament the fact that the so-called “Extended Mix” doesn’t go on for longer. ‘Lust In Oscillation’ and ‘Metallic each have more than a whiff of mid-period Yello about them, which is no bad thing, the former being the more upfront driving throbber, and the latter the hypnotic, moody epic soundscape into which bombs can be dropped. More of this sort of stuff please.
