Arctic Sunrise - Click Pause Nothing

Click Pause Nothing by Arctic Sunrise

4...according to our on Thu 03 May, 2007.

For the vinyl lover there is the Arctic Sunrise 'Click. Pause. Nothing' 7". A format utilized by few labels in the electronic music scene. Clanking metallic beats go head to head with some destroyed hybrid technoid sounds on 'The Flickering Torch'. 'Break Failure is all cut up complex trickery which even has a bit of a groove going.

Mary Anne Hobbs describes the 7 inch as ‘Assembly Line Music For Robots’ and on starting the a side you beg to differ. Wandering piano sprinkles across the ears lull you into a false ease. Only when the crunching glitching changing drum and bass break patterns emerge do you nod your head in satisfaction with its apt description. And it doesnt let up, well only for moments of paranoid ambience, but the breaks continue to shift n stutter yet somehow keeping the robotic funk that would make this 7 inch go down well on the dance floor.
The flipside takes the listener deep into a distorted pool of noise and slow tempo beats and only if you listen carefully will you make out the pianos attempting to escape to the surface. A definite must for the distorted breakstep lovers.
