VIS031-R: On The Air EP (Reissue)

by Random Factor

Record/Vinyl
Random Factor's 'On The Air' EP is a hugely sought-after classic by those who know. It came on Ralph Lawson's ever-reliable 20/20 Vision and now, as it turns 25 years old, he has decided it is the right time to get it remastered and reissued. 'On The Air' is first up on this fine EP from Carl Finlow and it has serene synths that bring to mind Detroit techno soul over pulsing bass and slick drums. 'Lockdown' has a raw vocoder vocal over punchy drums and twitchy synth stabs and 'Undercurrent' is another weapon that has more than withstood the test of time as it bumps along on funky drums and is overlaid with more playful synth patterns. 'Disconnect' is a crunchy and 8-bit closer with pixelated synths and screwy acid lines. Superb.

about

One of the most sought after records of all time on 20/20 Vision finally gets a re-issue from the original master recordings for its 25th anniversary.

‘Lockdown’ has been on the radar for the next generation of vinyl collectors for many years with its “Do You Want to Feel the Bass with Me” vocoded vocal courtesy of Carl Finlow accompanied by Kong Trinity syncopated synth sounds and tight staccato drums.

Finlow lets loose and goes freestyle on the keys for ‘On the Air’ which has stood the test of time as a bona fide slice of turn of the millennium Electro Funk. ‘Undercurrent’ continues the pulsating bass driven drama also becoming a much in demand underground dance floor weapon.

The EP is rounded off nicely with the Lo Fi 8 Bit Electro bomb that is this shape of things to come for his output as Carl Finlow - Disconnect. All the tracks are classic Finlow, all the tracks still sound as good today. Absolute essential re-issue for any record collection.
