“Complementary Distribution’s 13th release is by Ferenc Vaspoeri, a new Hungarian talent who mostly creates minimalistic 4/4 music. 5 magnificent Ep long Vaspoeri works have already been released by labels such as Standard Klik Music, and ChiWare. He also presented a fantastic live act at Cod Estek in Budapest, Hungary which will be released as well in November 2006 at Complementary Distribution. 

Esplanade is a minimal techno collage to which anyone can easily daydream in cities or suburbs. Songs are more (but not too) minimal than the average, and introduce simpler samples in a sofisticated but twisted way, unlike standardised dubtechno netaudio releases. So Esplanade is somehow rather closer to the fantastic works of Russian minimal techno talents like Killahertz or Eric Delay. The title track can be nothing else but one of the most romantic and emotional minimal techno works in the scene with elaborate and elevated melodic structure. These 5 pieces are some earlier tracks by Mr. Vaspoeri, and he states that he prefers choosing different directions of 4/4 music nowadays, so the uniqueness of this release is also guaranteed. 

When we reach the suburbs of our virtual city, two other talents join us: One is Cooler (U-Cover/Chi/Bitlab) who tells his own lovely, but more heavy interpretation of the song Komfort with some analogue sounds of his Nord Modular Synth. Finally, we can stand up and shake to the electrobreaks of  Noise64’s Esplanade remix who introduced himself in the summer of 2006 with his album titled 120.  

The release is also accompanied with an animgif image of the rising Sun in the city of Budapest with some planes moving in the sky. The cover, its photos, and the animgif is completely made by Plesiv aka Karex who is a well known electro dj and visual artist in the underground music scene of Hungary. The audio mastering is done by Cooler. Enjoy & spread it.”

Imperfect Shake is going to be deleted on Friday. Grab it as long as it is up! :)

I am now extremely busy working on some new material. My mate, Cooler is in the same case I think. :) What a cliché sentence, while it is as much a cliché as much positive feeling it does have. 

Finally, the following is still true: “The time we enjoy wasting is not a wasted time.” - B. R.

Tomorrow’s VBR radio show@Radio Periszkóp is cancelled because the whole weekend is dedicated to the works of the legendary Hungarian musician, Bartók. Have a deep listen. :)
