Edited one year agoA timeless, ground-breaking release from Rupert and Jim.
Between the melodic dancefloor destroyers of PTK01 to the mind-bending space anthems of PTK06, I believe it was PTK03 that brought Rupert into unprecedented grounds; almost entirely melody-less, with few exceptions consisting of simple pads and licks, these tunes offer groovy metallic drumwork that predate the sporadic complexity of IDM and the rhythmic bounce of Footwork. 'The Physical' is the standout for me, with its fuzzy bass and warped use of flange effects.
Rupert would go on to champion this rhythmic metallic sound to a wider, dancefloor audience with 'Consciousness', 'The Rain (Photek Remix)', 'The Third Sequence', and (of course) 'Ni Ten Ichi Ryu'. And subsequently he would abandon the dancefloor energy for an icier take on this unique approach to drums, crafting the minimal sound of 'Modus Operandi'. But PTK03 was arguably the earliest insight into what Rupert was truly capable of, and what was to come, all the way back in 1994. -
Astonishingly good record, to this day. "Touching Down...." is as technically brilliant as it is ambitious. Just at this moment in time, when we were all happily lost in the music, with no desire beyond pushing the possibilities of the genre into exciting new territory. Channelling, (with amazing results IMO) the sense of musical freedom and roll of the jazz leaning breaks with the spirit of pioneering UK dance culture, drifting out of the tail end of the rave revolution.
They don't make them like this any more! ***** -
Edited 2 years agoThis was a collaboration between Rupert and jim baker (source direct )they were good mates.jim told me all this himself when we met last month -
Jokers charging £50 plus. This can be had off the bay for £25 if you're shrewd and keep an eye on auctions.... -
Edited one year ago'Touching Down......Planet Photek', the beat structures on this tune are fantastic, so intricate and well polished. The vibes are heavy, but there is real soul and tons of groove here too, all brought together with lush pads and moody atmospheres.
