Third Ear Recordings received this ep from Pirahnahead at the beginning of 2009 as a promo. The ep got a limited digital release on Pirahnaheads Whasdat label. Immediately we wanted to make sure that the ep got a vinyl release and also got a much wider digital release. Not only because we were feeling the music, but because Pirahnahead is family. Patrice Scott has been caning Mirror Muse all over Europe all summer of 2009 and Norm Talley too. Norm Talley also made Self Conscience a name tune all over Detroit. Third Ear started discussing a vinyl release and full digital release in October 2009, but it wasnt until we gave the ep to Carl Craig in November that things started to move. Carl contacted us saying he wanted to remix Self Conscience. So here is the NGTVNRG ep. Stage 1. Not only Carl Craig wanted to remix Self Conscience when he heard it. Calvin Harris did too. And there will be a Norm Talley edit of the track. All that will come around April 2009.
We need to say something about how the ep came about. Why all the NGTV NRG? And how is it that Pirahnahead has suddenly come with a full hand of top notch in-your-face techno when we all know him as one of the best soulful vocal House producers? The answer is in the tracks. Listen and soak up all the positive energy that is bursting out of these jams, jams inspired by intense feelings of negative energy.
A1 Mirror Muse Wonderful old school synth lines in the bass and pads instantly mark this as an uplifting anthemic track in the classic rave style. As the arpeggios swell, watch the grins on the dance floor start to widen. Tune!
A2 Disconnected Pirahnahead really shows his musical and production chops on this. The anthemic vibe on Mirror Muse gives way to darker energy on Disconnected, but this is channelled brilliantly to create another high energy uplifting tune that will have arms pumping the air. Deliciously cut up and ripped up, the track brilliantly describes the one-step-forward-two-steps-back trip that we all get stuck in.
B1 Self Conscience - Pirahnaheads Dark Night Of The Soul where his conscience visits him and reminds him that the most important things in life still count when youre feeling disillusioned and down and out. In fact they count for more when youre feeling disillusioned and down and out. His conscience tells it to him straight, and will have many telling everyone else the same thing. The track resolves with Pirahnahead using the hook from Frederic Chopins Prelude in C Minor op 28, no 20 to brilliant effect.
B2 Self Conscience Dub.
