ACKER 039EP
|
The melodic catchiness of Marcus Sur's productions vibrates somewhere between deep house and dub techno, taking the best of both worlds to yet another level. The minimal but heady tune of "The World in Small Doses" rings and throbs from a multitude of acoustic dimensions. "The Masquerade" is full of subliminal drama and perfidious complexity, whereas "The Lessons" is dominated by the dreamy voice of singer Ann Jasmund that expands over a heaving patchwork of warm harmony. "Magnetic Ribbons" is remixed by Mollono.Bass.

This is Marcus Sur's first record on My Best Friend. "If The Tiger Eats The Lotus Flower" is alternately seductive and its screeching banshee vocals invoke an immediacy that resonates instantly with listeners. "What We Get Is A Smile" features an uplifting dubby house beat that comes in waves. "My Way" comes in two versions, one by David Keno and one by Marcus himself. The Keno remix is more direct and accessible whereas the original by Marcus is deeper.

Marcus Sur lives near Cologne, and with this 12", he shows his love for minimal. His definition of minimal, though, has more in common with Robert Hood than with recent developments, due to his love for rare groove and deep house music. This EP is authentic and cool and speaks the language of Germany's coal-mining district, the Ruhrpott. House music has always been big there, and led to the founding of one of the first house distributors in Germany, NTT.
