GESCOM - A1-D1, Skam

We've waited four years for a new Gescom twelve - and what do you know, we get two on the same day. At the time of writing we've sold out of all the vinyl copies before we've even had a chance to review it (there's a small chance we might be able to get some more copies in, but with the pressing limited to 500 copies only it seems a bit unlikely) - but luckily there's a handy 6-track cd version containing both twelves. "A1-D1" is a much more old school affair than anything Gescom have released before, with the opening "A1" employing the kind of fast-edit arrangements favoured by the likes of Secondo, particularly their earlier b-boy aping releases. There's a sample-heaviness here that will come as quite a surprise to ardent Gescom/Autechre followers among you, but play this track once or twice and it'll stay ingrained in your mind for weeks to come. A2 is a more analogue affair with a stripped acid template while B1 returns to sampled matter with a P-funk reduction that sounds like Autechre playing with their samplers - which is probably exactly what it is. C1 is another reduced funk edit with some smart tempo shifts while C2 is an abstract radio mashup in a concrete style while the massive D1 ends the set with an immense mashup of what sounds like Adonis' classic "No Way Back" f*cked with good and proper. Sick business - lets hope we don't have to wait another four years eh?
