Description
Adopting the UNKLE approach to lexicography, Skalpel release ‘Konfusion’ having enjoyed a remix royalty bonanza from their eponymous debut LP’s honey-trap of source material (many of which are included on a special edition bonus disk). Ranging from the Herbaliser-esque Funk+Hammond excursions of ‘Flying Officer’ through to the Shadow delineated breaks of ‘Test Drive’, Skalpel are laid-back to the MAX; not once breaking into anything more strenuous than a stroll. If such slow-motion music is likely to aggravate, ‘Konfusion’ is certainly not for you, but if you can see the benefits of taking a breather from the bustle of 21st Century life, you might just enjoy the company. Over on the remix side, Amalgamation of Soundz take clotted atmospherics, towering strings and a hypnotic drum break then combine them in a noir-gilded package (‘Low’) before Jeremy Joshua follows with ‘Break In (J’s Remix)’ clattering you to attention with a drum crunching intro worthy of Aesop Rock before mellowing out a tad to deliver a Ryksopp flavoured shot of pepped up, break laden electronica. Confused? You will be, you will be.
