THE ABOMINABLE MR
TINKLER – LONG DIVISION WITH REMAINDERS EP VERSION 8 (FRONT AND FOLLOW)
The Abominable Mr
Tinkler is a long standing member of the Colchester electro scene. And thus is he is also one of the loudest,
most important figures in what is a compact movement. For those about to sock(et), we salute you.
The reputation of
Tinkler is one of caffeine driven gestures of sonic obliteration. Nobody gets out of here alive, nothing
remains in one piece. For some reason
Tinkler has always remind me of Wax Trax, not necessarily in the output but
certainly in the aesthetic and intent.
It is a harsh realm to exude.
It kicks off with a
suitably bombastic entrance, building to a hearty explosion off the back of a
tense build up and landing. The echoes attached
feel like space screams, of the unexplained doing bad, doing wrong. On the way, you find yourself drunk.
The second encounter
proves equally surprisingly restrained as some kind of zonal marking tags a
windswept ordeal that remains a calming affair until thirty seconds from the
end when machine drums and drill sounds slap in a droop seemingly in search of
reaction.
There is a kind of
desolate menace attached to the remix of track 3 that reminds heavily of The
Terminator score. Of course that peace
is soon shattered by the intrusion of what seems some kind of malfunction. Then come the random break beats delivered
in no sensible manner, a sequence that spews scorn all over the track and
indeed the listener. Its what they do.
The final version proves
barely recognisable to the original as a screwy set of organs take control and
mashup proceedings in juvenile gabba fashion.
This feels like aural equivalent of hiccups. Then just when you think they are done, it bounces back. Tinkler always will.
Thesaurus moment:
deface.
