Chris Moss Acid The Waiting Room [EP]
I would hate to jump on the “This is one of the best things Chris Moss Acid has done” bus, so I’m going to gingerly take the hype train. And probably end up arguing with someone sitting in my seat whilst being in the wrong carriage.
Listen to that first track. That’s some mournful beautiful Science Fiction memories Detroit rippled acid flecked Electro splendid.
The release is worth ‘Black Philip’ alone and Moss knows it. The bastard.
It’s track length is even 606. The title refers to the goat in the film ‘The Witch’
Bastard in a light-hearted British comedy way…since the Internet killed sarcasm and satire…
Now listen to that. That’s the title track, linked through to give Subwax Distribution some love, time linked to where it starts. Listen to that acid.
That’ll do.
That’s really all y0u can say. It’s pretty close to perfect.
As with much of Moss’ work there’s references and nods to television, film and pop culture all the way through. Here, the title refers to the Twin Peaks black lodge. Specifically, the red room, which The Man from Another Place refers to as the ‘waiting room’. Remember? If not, go do the thing with the ‘Peaks. There’s no way I’m getting into explaining purgatory in a techno review.
Then there’s the side eating ‘48.858275 2.294438’ — you should google maps the co-ordinates as in Moss’ own words “was where I thought of a really long repeating bassline ambient track. With a 32 bar 303 line.”
There’s Orbital hints and it seems like tempo twists and again the drifting Science Fiction reminiscent railroad feeling of transit coming up coming down, the sideways shit. This deserves to be seared into the minds of some humans working hard to recover some serotonin and adjust dopamine levels after a summer they can’t quite remember but the house wasn’t this destroyed when we started was it?
This is going to sell out fast. You should get on that. What are you doing reading this, it’s barely legible as I was dancing most of the time I was trying to review the thing. Review is a stretch. More, point you in the right direction. Over there.
