Пусни Ме

Лежи тих
все още с пера,
невидим
и докато напълно изчезне
Пернато със очи
без очи е сега
и така е
от няколко дни
Лежи тих

единия излита
другия залита

Sled Dujd Kachulka - Tih

патриотична песен /нова генерация

While this may be the first release on Sheffield’s Central Processing Unit from Global Goon, the one known to friends and family as Johnny Hawk brings a whole heap of experience to the Nanoclusters mini-LP.

Hawk started dropping Global Goon records on the legendary Rephlex Records back in the 1990s. The project’s subsequent releases have taken in imprints as esteemed as WéMè and Balkan. Factor in a whole host of other aliases which have delivered missives via the likes of Planet Mu, and you know even before you press play on this witty, wily record that you’re dealing with a master at work here.

The confidence with which Global Goon approaches Nanoclusters shines through in Hawk taking much of the mini-album at midtempo. Cuts like ‘Khroxic Mould’, ‘Metallik’ and ‘Syntheseers’ sound like Bochum Welt heading down a dark alleyway. The former in particular is a seasick lope, the tuned synths lurching around like sailors on deck in a storm as bass ebbs and flows underneath the mix. 

The influence of Kraftwerk comes through prominently at times here, particularly in the way ‘Calcula’ and ‘Digit Six’ play pensive, slightly sombre synth chords off some simple but effective forward motion in the drum programming. That is not to say that Nanoclusters is not full of invention, though. None of the productions are overly flash, but this approach allows the little details to shine through more clearly, from cleverly panned hi-hats to hissing synth counter-melodies which flit in and out of the mix. Enthralling and packed full of ear candy, they’re further evidence that Nanoclusters is the work of an expert craftsman.

While the pulse of Nanoclusters remains relatively steady throughout, it’s still a rather lively record. Plenty of these tracks will get the dancefloor moving if deployed correctly - though whether they’re heard at home or in the dance, it’s the attention to detail which makes them stand out.

‘Snapterisk’ is as perfect an example of machine-funk as you’re likely to find - the drum programming is razor-sharp but rubbery with bongos, the bass a lithe burble, and those wobbly stabs of keys that put a bit of wiggle in the beat? Delightful stuff. Elsewhere the ever-looping arpeggio of ‘Metro Esc’ has hints of Frankie Knuckles’ house classic ‘Your Love’, though an array of interesting sonic nuggets - snippets of vocal, radar-like bloops, a gently insistent low-end pulse - soften the track’s clubbier elements with a pillowy sheen. And Hawk throws us a curveball right at the end of Nanoclusters, tapping back into that old Rephlex sound for the fizzy, braindancing ‘Metal Glass’.

Global Goon doesn’t need to show off on Nanoclusters - from brilliantly slick machine-funk to Kraftwerkian reveries, the CPU debutant lets the music do the talking here. It makes for a confident and vivacious mini-LP, one which wears its expertise lightly.

lyrics:

небитие

липсва изгревът на мойто слънце
течението на моята река
изгубена в свойта същност
без звездите, няма и луна
къде са ягодовите полета
къде са зелените води
спомените бързо избледняват
не съм каквато бях преди

откога съм ти прозрачна, без тяло, без сърце 
роб на спомените, онези в които не дойде
искам да си с мен, без дори да знам защо
това е мойто бреме, на осъзнато небитие

болна от неутолима жажда
обречена на вечен глад
не съществувам но ме има
падам в безкраен водопад
къде са ягодовите полета
къде са зелените води
спомените бързо избледняват
не съм каквато бях преди

откога съм ти прозрачна, без тяло, без сърце 
роб на спомените, онези в които не дойде
искам да си с мен, без дори да знам защо
това е мойто бреме, на осъзнато небитие

търся, търся те...
търся, търся те...
с отворени ръце...
откривам светове...
аАаааАааАаааааАаа
