Since the first volume in the Sounds Superb EP series featured one track from In Flagranti and three other artists who we'd never heard of before (or from since), I'm gonna assume that all four of these fake-sounding artist names are really In Flagranti in disguise. Arms Neumond starts it off with the plodding downtempo boogie of "Late Night Flight L.A.X.(1);" sounds like this might be an edit, complete with a lovely vocal sample about sunsets. Next up, Harmonika Lyder's "Siegfried Der Drachentoter(2)" has gotta be original production - a stuttering, bloopy track that sounds like something from an educational science film you'd see in high school (the part that shows all the blood circulating through your body). On the flip, we got Airy Dun's "Cockney Wide Boy(3)" with tight disco grooves and a no wave flair courtesy of one skronky filtered sax, honkin' away into the night. Fab Tak rounds it out with "House of Funk(4)" - another edit? - working with a minimal drums / bass / handclaps loop and tiny vocal snip, letting loose occasionally with a wakka-chikka guitar breakdown.
