Birthday 026 / Like A Real Song

Oh yes, VS_Price makes a very welcome and long overdue return to the world of IDM and truly impressive electronic music.

These two tracks make up single number 7 in the current Expanding 7" series and marks his first new music since 2002's 'minette_'. The superbly executed 'Birthday 026' is Vincent Papon playing around with "squelches", "zaps" and quirky samples of computer games that recall the work of Gimmik or Quinoline Yellow and the SKAM label. Here we find Price not making throwaway cartoon electronica, but a stab at an alternative acid and electro hybrid. 'Like A Real Song' is the come down after the startling, acid fried A side and finds Papon in a contemplative and refrained environment. The use of synth hardware and slowed hip hop influenced beats resemble the bootleg hip hop / electronica experiments of Ascoltare during his least difficult moods. Perfection never sounded so lush! www.angryape.com
