Single Review: Pezzner – Blacklist (Freerange Records)
By Paul Vig | Published on Wednesday 14 July 2010
Househead Dave Pezzner recently released a rather fruitful debut LP, ‘The Tracks Are Alive’, on Jimpster’s London-based label. ‘Blacklist’ was one of the tougher cuts on the album, bumping along with pace, with some aquatic little chimes thrown in. A good track, but not the album’s stand out point by any means.
But what do the remixes included in this package add to the proceedings? Well, the Teutonic Stimming jacks up the tempo and throws in some weird samples, but it’s nowt special. The Lusine remix begins in an edgy disjointed way, then turns a bit more manic before building to something more satisfactory towards the end, with some nice horn accompaniments.
Also included in this single release is ‘Chiuso Per Ferie’, another track taken from the album, which is again fairly tough house with a lush spacious breakdown that takes the foot totally off the pedal for over a minute before coming back even harder.
The package is, on the whole, average – which is a tad disappointing if only because Freerange’s output is usually of such exceptional calibre. PV
