ASY009 Inigo Kennedy
Nano Technology
ASY009 (Asymmetric)
12" (August 2002)

"Right from the off you're into it, there's no pulling punches here, Inigo Kennedy goes straight for the jugular. A vicious reverberating drum assault that never lets up begins stomping all over everything in sight, lapsing into a brief melody before hurtling back into savage madness. This sets the tone for the rest of the EP although unfortunately it doesn't get any better than this track. There is a more mellow, no frills haunted house number but the other three tracks on the flip are standard loopy fare set against 'scary' ambience, like Jeff Mills on a ghost train."
Overload Magazine

"Inigo Kennedy returns. First there was the Preliminary, then the Secondary, The Difficult Third, Bend Your Ears, Five Ways to make you Move, Until Six Arrives, Bond Returns, An Octet, and now we hit numero nueve, Nano Technology. Asymmetric is one our favorite Techno labels here at N-side that just keeps getting better and better. Each of these tracks covers tuff, intelligent techno territory, using dark synth textures and brutal percussion that will dominate any dancefloor. Not to be missed."
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
N-Side Records

"This guy's pedigree reads like a who's-who of Techno royalty with releases on Missile, Zet, Molecular and of course Asymmetric confirming this Londoner's status as one of the best of the best. Here he is back with a very OLIVER HO flavoured outing that we can't get enough of. Each of these tracks covers tuff, intelligent techno territory, using dark synth textures and brutal percussion that will dominate any dancefloor. Ruff!"
NRG Music

"British techno maverick Inigo Kennedy delivers the goods for the ninth release on his visionary asymetric imprint. Five tracks and four lock grooves here, all positively teeming with inventive programming and fresh ideas. Excellent future music from a remarkable talent."
Bi-Wire

"Dark droning tribal techno, dark warehouse styled techno with broken beats, laser gun sounds and Pounding percussion."
Sonic Groove

"This is the best release to date on Asymmetric. It has a Electro type flavour on the A2 which melts perfectly into a floor kicking beat and brilliant use of soun stabs and effects. Everytime I play this people come up and ask what it is."

"Surprise! Die Sonne geht auf im Kennedy-Kosmos. Wer gedacht hätte, Inigo wäre nur einer der vielen, die im darken Gewitter aus Postlooptechtracks mit fester Hand die Zügel ins immerwährende Kellernirvana führt, der sollte sich von diesen Tracks überraschen lassen. Schon auf der A-Seite verführt einen Inigo Kennedy in eine ganz eigene Welt aus Sounds, schrägen Hintergründen, darken Impressionen und unerwarteten Sonnenaufgangs-Breaks, die den Tracks eine sehr melodische Tiefe geben können. Und, Schranzheadz, Verrat? Nix. Denn es kickt nach wie vor erbarmungslos, eher noch mehr, denn Dynamik und Kick sind ja, wie wir alle wissen, gute Freunde. Der zweite Track führt diesen euphorisierend-anderen Sound mit elektroiderer Grundlage weiter, die Rückseite mit einem fast Detroitig deepen Track den man früher mal Intelligent genannt hätte, ebenso und als Bonus gibt es noch 2 kürzere Tools und fast melancholische Loops. Fein."
