Once again, erol alkan and boys noize have teamed up, for what has become a stunning re-imagining of last years smash single ‘avalanche’.. determined to avoid a taking an obvious route, the pair originally intended to commision a spoken word interpretation- the natural choice was the melifluous jarvis cocker. throwing his creative muscle behind the project, it was jarvis’s inspired choice for him to recite the seminal lyrics of leonard cohen’s song of the same name… a handwritten letter and cdr were dispatched to mr cohen, who very quickly gave his full and delighted support to the project. all that was left was for jarvis to add his distinctive twist to the title, in the form of ‘avalance (terminal velocity)’ despite this unlikely paring of minds the finished work sees the sonorous tones of mr cocker riding the megalithic slabs of fizzing synths and pistoning drums with aplomb to mesmeric effect. on the remix tip the duo enlist the maestro himself ewan pearson, who supplies not one, but two different flavours of rerub - the ‘hall of the mountain king remix’ mix takes the original on a warped acid redux via chicago, while the ‘deeper underground re-version’ reroutes proceedings to dubbed out berlin basement afterhours to stunning effect. not to be out done, hot talent canblaster interprets the original as a low-slung bleeptastic old-school electro workout that rounds the package off in glorious style. tracklisting: side a: avalanche (terminal velocity) - original version side b : avalanche (terminal velocity) canblaster remix - ewan pearson’s deeper underground re-version.ltd white vinyl.
