One may assume that a studio meeting between Anthony Child and Jay Denham is a noisy and pounding affair, but not necessarily. Because in “Creep EP”, the two techno masters are holding a rather low-key and stripped-down sonic dialogue when the title track undulates and swings on minimal bell-like sounds. “Creeper” is even more reduced affair, to keep up the same, a bit ghastly feeling. Techno pal D-Knox had come to say hello in the studio and left behind an hallucinating vocal footstep to complement track’s hazy atmosphere. On the B-side, “The Point” is a few degrees stronger and spins in a more metallic and technoid mood. Somehow different and in the same great techno record from 1997.
Surgeon needs no introduction and I recommend to get his recent Fabric mix-CD where he combines harder classic tones with new dubbier sounds. What concerns Vice, once I was not too impressed about his Black Nation Records output but this opinion has changed over the time. For sure, “Creep EP” gives a good understanding what he is capable to do.
