Terence Fixmer - Comedy Of Menace (Electric Deluxe) [NED] 8/10 - Review in IDJ
5 November 2010
Whilst minimal techno has permeated - and since dissipated out of – the
public consciousness, pure techno has never been more popular. One of
many such LPs this year is this a fourth full length from Terence
Fixmer. Full of precision, driving cuts as likely to feature in a
Dubfire or Hawtin set as they are to be heard on a Berghain dance floor,
Comedy of Menace veers from deep space to dystopian dance floor
territory and does so with enough overarching consistency as to make it
a rewarding listen. Mechanistic futurism litters pulsing sci-fi cuts
like ‘Alert’ whilst frenzied digital tones characterise dark track
‘Dance like Paranoid’: polished and well produced, techno heads will
love Comedy of Menace.
