foundsound returns with another brain-blurring gem courtesy of baltimore's ben parris, shrewdly titled from rave to the grave - featuring remixes by matmos (real names drew daniel and martin schmidt). and for those of you oddly unfamiliar with matmos, shame on you! maybe you know the duo for playing alongside björk, or for their countless albums on matador and other labels. or maybe you know drew daniel as the soft pink truth on herbert's soundslike label. their list of accomplishments goes on and on. on from rave to the grave, you get four tracks on vinyl, plus a fifth digital bonus remix. and this time around, ben parris delves deeper into his own trademark off-kilter sequencing and subtle dexterity - fed by quirky samples, trip-trailing delays, wavering textures, organic drums, subtle climaxes, and a keen focus on abstract structure with a calculated groove that djs can appreciate. furthermore, reviving an old tradition from the '80s, the tracks "wellsmellingyesterday" and "schmurtisstrasse" are offered in two different versions each, the '12" edits' on the vinyl, and the longer digital versions that will better fit the needs of today's digital dj.
