New from Reverb Delay, following directions, a three track EP drawn from the archives, with an aversion to capital letters. Lots to enjoy here- machine techno in the Basic Channel/ Berlin vein with the feel of a lo- fi 90s Underworld. The first track, closing the gap, is all hiss and echo, the hint of a kick drum thudding away and a synth topline that sounds like an FXed wah wah guitar. At six twenty one the hiss suddenly drops out and its like stepping outside- then it re- appears, along with the hiss, and a car horn honking/ single keyboard note stab.
Track two is berlin underground (u-bahn mix), starting with sounds from that transport line and then several minutes of swirling ambient noise, drones and more trains coming and going, a two note sound, everything eventually disappearing into hiss. Noise and sound as music.
Finally, the title track, a computer generated voice intoning directions to the nightclub Tresor- hence following directions- and more deep, ambient techno, shadows of pulsing drums, dark synth sounds, radio static, more swirling drones, the voice explaining how to get to Tresor, endlessly, ... nineteen minutes of it and even that doesn't seem enough.
