A Guy Called Gerald - "First Try" (!K7 173 EP) Release date: 6 December 2004

An icon returns. A Guy Called Gerald Manchester legend, outstanding producer, DJ extraordinaire. Since the late eighties A Guy Called Gerald has provided groundbreaking singles and albums: The rave classic "Pacific State" with the original 808 State, the acid house anthem "Voodoo Ray" and genre defining albums like "28 Gun Bad Boy", "Black Secret Technology" and "Essence".

And now it's "First Try", A Guy Called Gerald's new EP. Produced in his new home base Berlin, this EP demonstrates that Gerald is at the front row, yet remains true to his own personal style. The opening Track "First Try" is a typical A Guy Called Gerald tune: mighty, epic sounds, a racy, forward pushing kick drum, paired with minimal acid sounds which easily prance on the groove - a track that will give instant pleasure to any dance floor. Something that quite likely will also be produced by the follower "Meaning", a deep electronic track attached to a breakbeatish groove.

The B-Side opens with "Pump", a straight house stomper in which string accents and funky chords create an irresistible drive. "Tajeen" the final tack of the "First Try EP" glistens with a digital jazz feeling, instrumented by a double bass, live percussions, synthie strings and 303-beats.

The "First Try" EP by A Guy Called Gerald. A single that leaves the listener with eager expectation for A Guy Called Gerald's new album "To All Things What They Need". The icon is here to stay.
