Lucretio - live at  Loco X Resistance

There was a time at the end of the eighties in which virtuous Japanese musicians were forced to use just a few kilobytes to arrange the music of the videogames of the 8 bit era. Despite the limitations of the early days of the digital music,  the evocative power of their composition has remained unchallenged.
After a quarter of century,  Lucretio has rearranged and produced two of these forgiven gems with the latest hardware technology,  forging for them an heavy dancefloor armour.  "the last dungeon"  originally  written by Shinichi Sakamoto and "rise of the penguin"  was originally written by Motohiro Kawashima,  are Lucretio's tribute to two of the masters of the SN76489 chip and to the beauty of this lost minimalist symbolism. 

Rise of The Penguin

The Last Dungeon

Lucretio - 30062012

Machines State Polymers is back with another ferocious mixture of techno-filtered, house power! Lucretio, one half of the Analogue Cops, co-founding member of Restoration Records and a judicious supporter of the vinyl format, gives us his third release for the label and furthers his explorations into the relationship between machines and sounds. His improvisational and ultra-minimalistic approach to constructing techno, not to mention the strict reliance on analogue hardware, have created an inimitable flare and familiarity to his tracks. The A side kicks off with a pumping, bass-driven groove which subtly evolves to become a relentless house bomb; followed smoothly by the sharp, quick-firing sample technique for which Lucretio is so well known for, on the A2. Over on the flipside, a desolate female vocal is pushed forward by a murky, tape-hissed percussion which is rapidly engulfed into a frantic whirlpool of ghostly synths and crispy effects. Finally, "Your Name" switches things up and breaks down the more familiar 4/4 territories into a twisted, half-stepping monster, complete with Lucretio's trademark drumming style – raw, sparse and crunchy. It goes without saying that this is a vinyl only affair..!
