Title Description:
Shifts goes plunderphonic on his new 7". Well, in his own way of course. Taking the guitar sounds of people they like and processing it the Shifts way (layered, looped, phased - to reveal his secrets). Ah, we can't tell whose guitars are plundered, but it seems obvious. In a recycled record cover. This is will be a short series. The next one is the final one, and will have fab four songs.

Vital Review:
SHIFTS - LOVE ONE (7" on Korm Plastics)

Basically a strange little record, this one. I actually believe that
Shifts is defenitively breaking with its industrial roots here. Two
sides with loops and no shifting of patterns. Weird. Or is it? If the
patterns aren't shifting, then what is? And yes, on closer inspection
one finds out that it's the sound is slightly shifting, emphasising
different aspects of the loops in the course of the pieces. A very
subtle work with a strong Reichian influence (I actually put on Six
Pianos to verify this statement). Knowing some of Shifts' older work
this doesn't really come as a surprise. The influence of Reich c.s.
has been always there, but never so strong as here. It makes me
wonder what the next step will be. Very clever and very nifty. And I
really want to hear more now. (MR)
