Selected Edits Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Strong looks all round as Geophone's Mike Parker surfaces on the limited pressing Select Edits imprint founded by Edit Select last year and gets additional support with a fine remix from Perc. Whereas Parker's Geophone output sees the producer focus on the more abstract style of insectile techno at times, "Synchro Rhythm" is undiluted, pneumatic machine funk of the highest order, incurring a riot of compressed textures and jagged, unpredictable electric rhythms. The not inconsiderable Juno office subs do not do Parker's bassline justice here. Perc adopts a more abrasive approach that doesn't sacrifice any of the original's mechanical intensity. Do check!
