A 12-track behemoth that sputters and shimmies its way through video-game electronics and broken breaks (with three remixes by Poborsk, Wagawaga, and The Ghost of 3.13). Carl Brown moves quickly through each song, incorporating a variety of discovered noises and shattered braindance components. Time Slip seems to be built around chopped techno (“OOF”) and abstract shapes (“Lenticular”), with disoriented electrical shards splattering across the windscreen and repetitive, Ochre-like melodies (“Sun Wolf Whoosh”) occurring simultaneously. All of it is included in one enormous, shape-shifting collection of pixelated, acid-soaked smorgasbords—”Riddle Me This” is a prime example.
However, just when you thought Carl Brown would ease-up on the accelerator, tracks like “Braincave,” an instrumental/electronic drill’n jazz ferocity reminiscent of Squarepusher, and “Falling Through Pages” catapult us into the upper atmosphere. While Wagawaga’s drill’n bass cacophony on his remix of “Endless Gens” is pure fire, Poborsk offers slow-motion sound design sculptures on the “Pipe/Slippers/Grime” remix while The Ghost of 3.13’s closing remix of “Falling Through Pages” offers a lounge’n bass rendition that simply doesn’t let go. An astounding assortment of breakneck rhythms and unconventional musical electronics.
Time Slip is available on Mozyk. [Bandcamp]
