Quite a bit of chemistry involved in producing these slices of awesome! 8/10
Ive been maintaining a loose grasp on the workings of the Finity label, but I do not believe we have covered them here as of yet
Likewise with a98, better known as Allende. Im going to assume theres some sort of chemistry-related meaning behind this alias, given that this EP definitely has some of that chemistry going on. Indium and SnO2 (tin oxide) are used to create a component of LCDs
You see these everywhere, of course, and chances are you are reading this review through an LCD! At any rate, dive in to see if youve got any chemistry with these two tracks!
Indium
We get a thumping tech-beat with some of the grit Ive come to associate with Allendes works. As we progress onwards, the atmosphere switches into something melancholic, bringing out some piano and a lot of saw
It walks an edge of tackiness, but it does the business! The build merges the new mood and tone with the old drive and pump, and you get an on-point execution of a peak-time trancer.
SnO2
This one has some electro-like bounce to it, with some tinny percussion work (See what I did there?) and an ever-so-slightly acidic rhythm line. The track has a very Adrian Ivan feel to it. The break drops and maintains the energy, unleashing this funky ass piece of synth that immediately signs a requirement of head-bobbing. Do it to it!
A great little treat from the Finity camp! Both tracks have their finer points, and are precisely executed. Its pretty apparent that there was quite a bit of chemistry involved in producing these slices of awesome! If I had to pick, Id choose Indium
Its got a great progression! 8/10
