Recon White Label HPLL::007
London based Chris Coode has previously released work on Fat Cat and 12k under the moniker of Motion - The Fat Cat was a split release with Matmos which has just recently been collected on a compilation, and with 12k, Chris second album is due out in the spring time. With his Recon : White Label project, Chris retains his subtle and immediate control of the music, his trademark delicate balance of controlled noise, but allows through a whole other dirtier and nasty detail to the sound, a broken techno feel of machines in mid-crisis.
Previous praise for his Motion projects:
Where one finds a kind of repetition in the powerful, unforgiving sub-bass of "LNR6," attention invariably falls on the minute timing glitches that push the sub-bass out of the sequence, as well as on the complex yet lilting glints that fracture the highest harmonics. While Dust may not be the most accessible 12k release to date, it's certainly an engaging one for those who follow the label. Grooves Magazine, USA
Chris Coode aka. Motion already demonstrated these qualities both with his split EP on Fat cat and his longplayer "Pictures". On "Dust" he ups the stakes and delves deeply into the entrails of his box of tricks, smooths edges and appears at times to be emulating early Pole on prozac, then again perhaps Sachiko M without Input on speed. The warhead of "LNR6" destroys all past concepts and experiences: The paralysing rhythm gets under the skin and coagulates the knees. Buy it. De:Bug Germany
