Detroit Grand Pubahs - Skydive From Venus download mp3 flac

Tthe A side is a strange blend of styles, fusing ethereal, almost Kraftwerk like strings, with echoing drum hits at long intervals, and slow piano chords reminiscent of Vangelis. Overall the track would have an extremely vintage feel if it weren't for the strange squealing space blips laid over the top at seemingly random intervals, and the sound of radio static in the background. This one has no dance appeal whatsoever; it doesn't even have a constant beat through, just echoed drum hits, however this is certainly one you can sit back and enjoy at home. To me, this seems like a strange departure from Detroit Grand Puhbahs' usually crude lyrics and immature themes, in fact, I'd describe this one as positively deep, and beautiful too.

On the B side, Deetron's remix takes it to the dance floor, as usual. The slow pads and strings are no longer sweeping, echoing chords, but rapidly pulsing melodies, driven by an added bass line. What still remains however, is the atmospheric feel to the track. Like Ritchie Hawtin's classic "Spastik", under the "Plastikman" alias, this one has a constant feel of building, with no big bass drops in sight. This is the kind of track you play immediately before you drop in your biggest, most dance-floor destroying bomb for the night. Come to think of it, it's not unlike a more upbeat version of Daniel Stefanik's remix of "Intercity" , originally by Johnny Wagner.

Both lovely tracks in their own right.
