A Guy Called Gerald : First Try EP

K7

Since the late eighties, A Guy Called Gerald has produced groundbreaking music: Manc techno classic "Pacific State" with 808 State, the acid house anthem "Voodoo Ray", and early 'intelligent' drum and bass tracks. Produced in his new home base of Berlin, this EP demonstrates a return to form. The opening track "First Try" is a typical Gerald tune; mighty, epic sounds, a racy, forward pushing kick drum and minimal acid sounds. Track two, "Meaning", is a deep track attached to a breakbeat groove. The B side opens with "Pump", a minimal tech-house groover in which string accents and funky chords create an irresistible drive. Lastly Middle Eastern-tinged "Tajeen" glistens with a digital jazz feeling, instrumented by a double bass, live percussion, synth strings and 303 beats.
