Regis - Penetration mp3 download

Blackbrand

I got this release at the beginning of 2012 and it may have spent more time on my turntable than anything else. Not as raw as Gymnastics or as experimental as some of Regis's other releases at the time, Penetration is just 8 tracks of perfect techno. It's a release you can literally play over and over and over in the same sitting. Highly recommended!

X-Thul, the extra new track, is not really a track per se, but a seventy seconds long dark ambient interlude. At first, it sounded kind of familiar, and then it hit me: certain elements used remind me of the Reality Or Nothing (a relatively unknown project by the joint collaboration of O'Connor & Sutton) track on "Spares game" [HR 05]. Check it out for yourself and let me know what you think! Having said that, I would have preferred if they chipped in one of the remaining tracks available on the CD version of "Penetration", which can otherwise be found on vinyl on [LINO028] and [SC 01], respectively. The printed insert is a nice and witty addition, while the black centre labels only add to the overall dark and opressive sound. "Penetration" always was, and stil is, quite probably my all time favorite Downwards release, where Regis abbandons all experimentation and acute minimal artistic vision in favor of no-nonsense punishing dance floor orientated beats of the highest order. Apart the two interludes, you can use the remaining six tracks in the same set and rest assured that they will provide a solid half hour of total chaos and guilty pleasure. A classic, and one of those albums I have in multiple sound carriers all the time.
