'Fair Enough' Fools Gold

It's been a helluva long time since my last post and I apologize for that. Summer is a busy time and I have been trying to promote and poster for more and more parties so my time is limited. I have been on a major drum and bass tip lately but I won't defy the original intent of this page by crossing the genres here.

Para One and Tacteel are back together at last with a smooth and abstract sounding EP for Fools Gold which is welcome news. For awhile there I thought FG would continue to put remakes of every disco song on the planet with the like of Duck Sauce and Treasure Fingers churning out the Nu disco flavour at an alarmingly crash and burn rate. This EP sees them broaden their horizons with a intelligent and balanced sound from Para and Tacteel. A1 chugs a neat little 80 bpm style rocker while the 2nd and 3rd tracks 'Rome' and 'Touch' shimmer with new icy production that pays homage to styles of old with washy vocals and shiny cymbals. All in all worth the wait from the label that could have self destructed but instead reinvented itself, at least for now.

Para One is the best. No more no less.
