If the 'Parquet' album saw them delivering a unified vision of dancefloor purity to great acclaim, 'Cashmere' took Elektro Guzzi’s signature man-machine sound up a notch. In the title track layers of angular chords circle, while a warmly pulsating foundation of bass and drums locks in the groove. The 'Reverse Mix' does exactly what it says: reversing the arrangement and re-building the track back to front. 'Crack Fox' then centres on the interaction of shifted bass line and countering melodic scraps. All set against ultra-steady drum work, swelling in lengthy waves towards eerie peaks. Essential material from the band that reinvented 'live techno'.
