TENNIS : europe on horseback [bleep 03]
TENNIS is Benge (real name Ben Edwards) and Si-{cut}.db (real name Douglas
Benford), two renown solo sonic artists in their own rights. Tennis is part of
an on-going London based collaboration exploring digital and electro-acoustic
sounds and rhythms combined with 21st century audio software. "Wooden Sweets"
was the first Tennis release on the Cologne label ElectroChemicalResearch.
The second album is entitled "Europe on Horseback", and, as its title suggests,
is a relaxed voyage. The rhythms slowly draw you into a cushioned saddle and an
electronic trot then begins, taking us through fields of bubble bass, valleys
of sonic glitches, and mountains blooming with digitalia. Not quite as minimal
as Pole but just as deep. They never break into a gallop, conserving energy
rather than letting it run wild. This record is a form of deconstructed dub /
house which avoids 4/4 time at every corner creating a relaxed, challenging and
accessible electronica lined with interesting bass lines. A great full-length
from bip-hop stables.
