News Of The World - Single Of The Week

the Rubens 12" Breaking Into Smile Remix EP has been listed as single of the week in the News Of The World.

Breaking Into Smile (Herb)

"Glasgow based electronica duo Mark Flanagan and Gordon MacDermid have amassed a crack team of remixers for their lush and lovingly crafted soundscapes. Black Dog and Dextro turn in superb interpretations but it's Kirk GeDiorgio's stripped down club friendly mix that could well make this one of the surprise underground hits of the autumn. As a taster for their soon to be released Carnivalesque album this is very promising stuff indeed"

"Carnivalesque resonates with echoes of early Warp-era electronica a la Black Dog, Autechre or B12, sprinkled with essence of mid-seventies Kraftwerk, Cluster and Tangerine Dream, the lot blended into voluptuous swathes of synthetic waves and unashamedly upbeat and modern electronica. Right from the opening moments, the pair set the tone with crystalline acoustic guitars layered over crisp electronics on Vertical Hold, and swirling melodies on the uplifting Breaking Into Smile. Within the first ten minutes, Rubens deploy an impressive armada of sounds and moods, wrapped up in disarmingly simple and confident pieces, that it is a wonder how they could sustain the pace for long and continue to deliver. Yet, they do, time and again." The Milk Factory
