Ernesto vs. Bastian: Thrill
Ernesto vs. Bastian are the Dutch duo responsible for 2005’s Dark Side of the Moon – a track which I found mildly interesting on first listen but which quickly became tedious.
Thrill is their new creation, released to the world on 21 January 2008. If you recoil at the brain numbing spiralling synth line from 1990’s The Age of Love, you’ll probably do the same for the hooks in this vocal-less trance track. The best I can come up with for these is what you get when you stick a slap bassline and an acid drone in a blender. One might be enough, but this track overlays them. And just when you can’t handle it any more a blue elegiac pad arrives to temper the situation. However this respite is short-lived.
