Section 25
From the Hip
2.75 out of 5
Highlights:
Looking for a Hilltop
I love Brian Eno’s ambient records. And I’m a big fan of the great Jean Michel Jarre records of the era and Xex’s debut is one of the greatest techno records you’ve never heard. I’ve never really fallen under the spell of Kraftwerk’s minimalist entries but…
Section 25…is a hybrid of sorts.
If Joy Division’s Bernard Sumner wasn’t deeply involved in this project I’m not sure we would have taken it for a spin. And, for that I would have been unfortunate.
If you have some Molly on hand, this would be a great way to spend it. “Looking for a Hilltop” could be the template for rave music and the aurally epileptic “”Reflection” & Jarre rip “Program for Light” will either induce vomiting on the dance floor or send you to a party apotheosis. The Joy Division influence on select songs (“Prepare to Live” “Beneath the Blade”) are awful. Skip them at all costs.
