"Sidewinder" is a prelude to the kiss of the new Download album "The Eyes of
Stanley Pain", and what a satisfying lip lock it is. The EP consists of four
remixes that appear in their original form, both from the forthcoming Download
album as well as older material, four brand new tracks, and a remix of the
title track that might as well be a new track because very little of the
original version remains in the final mixdown. Absent is Genesis P-Ooridge with
the vocal work entirely being written by Mark Spybey who this time around tries
his hand at English lyrics instead of the usual European lingual derivatives.
"Sidewinder" contains the most contrasting and diverse material of an Download
release to date. Instead of utilizing some of the diverse ethnic techno as
before, there is greater stress on sample manipulation, vocal work and
transition development. The music rarely stages within one particular meter
throughout a track preferring instead to change across the breadth of the work
slowly. All these signs point to a strong developmental growth between album
even if release schedule has been quite a fast and frantic one for the band.
The full length album should be quite a monumental masterpiece if this EP is
any indication.
