What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Ant feeling happy.

B12 have finally got their album 'Last Days Of Silence'out on their B12 label and it's a double CD with the extra disk containing 5 live tracks. The album has collected the tracks off the last two 12"s with extra ones chucked in and a Digitonal remix of 'Hall Of Mirrors' and a Redcell mix of 'More Than One'. They're good producers these guys and what I like is that they don't try to be too clever with the technology showing off the latest amen mangling plug-in. They keep the groove going with plenty of detroit inspired spacey futuristic vibes. Some of the sounds are kind of quirky but still have a serious edge. Their use of repetition is good as well as it doesn't become monotonous. Nice stuff.

What the label says:

Some 12 years since the classic "Time Tourist" album (Warp), the rightful follow-up to B12’s critically acclaimed and landmark first LP ‘Electro Soma’ (also on Warp) the recently re-launched B12 are back as both label and seminal
electronic act.
The duo, Mike Golding and Steve Rutter release their first CD album consisting of new unheard material, tracks only ever heard at their live gigs and music only previously available on limited edition vinyl.
"Last Days of Silence" sees the pair return in superb form with an album that rightly joins their first two highly rated electronic classics.
From the warm and moody ‘Ashamed of Me’ to the far eastern tinged strings on ‘Hall of Mirrors’, echoic deep bass on the break infected ‘Magnetic Fields’ and dancefloor groove of current single ‘32 Lineup’ Steve Rutter and Mike Golding combine the classic B12 sounds into a new vision of the future.
Also featuring a bonus disc of unreleased live recordings ‘Last Days of Silence’ sees B12 rightly return to the UK techno throne.

Tracklist:
- CD1: 1. Hall of Mirrors (Digitonal’s Strings in Space Remix) 2. Magnetic Fields 3. 32 Lineup 4. One 5. Dont Be Afraid
6. Static Glitch 7. In Control 8. Beyond Reason 9. Slope 10. Omni Therapy 11. Ashamed of Me 12. More Than One
13. Isolation on Demuba.
- CD2 (Live Recordings): 1. Pursuit 2. Attempt Too 3. Zoo Zoo 4. Particle 3 5. Twisted Muva

About the humble CD:

The CD is essentially a small portable face mirror which has an extra feature of being able to play music (through a thing known as a CD player). These CD's are a modern invention hence them being all shiny and digital. They can hold about 80 minutes of music and apparently are indestructible as you can smear jam on them and they still play (not as nourishing as toast mind you but when you're hungry.....). They sound crystal clear and are tiny convenient things. They lack the charm and warmth of their old analogue counterparts but their portability, convenience and ease of being duplicated make them a perfect thing of a thing for most folks. Jewel cases are the worst thing ever though and they really need to stop.
