Title: Facing That Void
Release: 22 November 2004
Cat.-No.: CPT 178-1/-3
Format: 12" / Digital

Let's face the problem of your turntables´ autumn depression and stoke up that void with General Electrics’ first 12”, out of their debut album “Cliquety Kliqk”!

It's quite terrific that Compost’s old stagers Beanfield attended to mix up for their new label friends. Beanfield combine experience, handicraft and stock-taking with up-front music and ended up creating this outer space version of “Facing That Void”, produced at their own ufo-command bridge.
Lyric- and spiritwise the track is supported by Lateef The Truth Speaker. The original version also contains a guest performance by Lateef´s old college friend Chief Xcel. After Xcel and Lateef formed a crew called SoleSides in the early 90's, Xcel soon joined the legendary Blackalicious. 
Now, over a decade later, the two college friends celebrate their Hip Hop reunion with their project Maroons. Another blazing Cliquety Kliqk track “Techno Kid” gets a new style with a little help of Ben Mono. The Munich based DJ is a self-taught drummer, keyboard and bass player, and even knows how to pull a mellow-sounding highlight out of an already ingenious tune.

“Opaque Gender” is a brand new ass-kickin’ blowoff! Only to be found on this 12”! This is a classical allrounder which makes you dance on tiring days and gets you chilled out after sweeping nights.

Behind General Electrics hides RV (Hervé Salters), above all keyboard player, specialist of instruments from the 60’s and 70’s: Clavinetz, Hammond, Rhodes. RV marked his style within the Vercoquin band, accompanying M and, on the occasion of numerous invitations, in Shoki Shoki by Femi Kuti, in DJ Mehdi’s Spy Story, or, more recently, within the Qannum Collective
