A GUY CALLED GERALD - Blow Your House Down

 

A GUY CALLED GERALD
BLOW YOUR HOUSE DOWN
REMIXES
(SPLIT MUSIC]

London's bimonthly Split club is gaining a reputation for presenting the cream of techno - old and new school. Now residents Ben Sims and Chris Finke have started their own
label. First release is solid gold as A Guy Called Gerald's '88 classic - originally the B side of 'Voodoo Ray' - is turned into a massive remix package. The original and it's
all-consuming metallic riff, which so slaughtered the Detroit boys back in the day and just screams for cavorting, kicks off the first disc before the three more housey
versions steam in. Chris Finke sets the scene with 808 cowbell and boogie riffs before blasting into the main riff's mayhem potential. The Freaks take it deeper-with slowed down vocal hook. Ben Sims adds a huge kick-bass bedrock to squelch and growl into off-the-head oblivion. Smith & Selway kick off part two with a dark, modem pile-driver, before Ben Sims' Killa Productions Mix pulls on hard, tribal underpants. Surgeon and Regis - aka British Murder Boys - fire up a panel-beating belter before the fantastic treatment from Paul Mac which can only be described as ACIEED! Impeccable stuff.
