Oh God, I know that everything I write in this blurb will be scanned with great scrutiny by Minimal Man, who doesn't work in the office anymore but is such the minimal house master that he checks up on it anyway. Well, here goes. Sweet follow up to their Night Express EP that set their name rippling in the minimal/tech house waters last year. Now they've both joined the Spectral Sound army and are once again sweetening the pot with this flavorful single featuring a mysterious remix dude, Schatrax. The original single is so serene and beautiful it brings a damn tear to my eye. Soft early morning lovemaking and a vision of golden sunrise come to mind. I know that's sounds cheesy, but those are probably some of the best things in life. Schatrax(2), on the other hand, does not "Schat" on the track, but instead lifts the intensity with clustered drum patterns, dubbed out keys, thicker bass end, and an epic climax. In short, it's the rocker of the bunch. "Brazil To Detroit(3)" is kinda stomping for minimal. Dirty bass lays the foundation for this gritty ride, which they quickly cover up with soft floating synths. Will this mean a full length from Spectral? I dunno, but I think Minimal Man would say something to the effect of, "They goddamn better, or I'll make them drink bleach until their shit turns white." Detroiters kill me.
