Information
On High & Mighty Paul Riekert (of Battery9 fame) takes it easy and slows down the tempo a lot — most tracks clock in at under 120 bpm and are on the surface almosty gentle and inviting. There are distinct dub and breakbeat influences, with an effortless blend of programmed electronics and live intruments. Most tracks are collaborative efforts — Cesare Cassarino, Brendan Jury, Anton L’amour, Huyser Burger, Jonathan Neaves and Arnaud Van Vliet join forces with Paul to create something unique, while retaining the trademark twisted humour and dark undertones.
Press reviews
“This electro affair’s credits are a who’s who of the local music scene. The changing line-up on each track means the album offers up a wide variety of sounds, but on the whole it delivers a mellower electro feel than Riekert is known for. Experimental offerings from some of South Africa’s best.” (Lloyd Gedye, Mail&Guardian, Sept 1-7, 2006)
