Search - Get Fucked :: Wet Dreams

Solid non-explicit tech-house, ignore all the track names

"Well obviously Nathan Coles and Nils Hess aren't trying to win your mother's favor with their name and song titles. Ignore all that, this is a well-assured run through house with a decidedly tech flair (I'll avoid the usual genre tag) that would cause much bigger rousings if not for the irreverent attitude. Get F**ked have a little secret to share, too; look past the wrapping and their almost-mixed Wet Dreams reveals slower, deeper and, just maybe, too-safe tunes welded to the shiny beat."Dreams are Made" appropriately leads off, a slow bass-funk affair with subversive keys and a littering break roaming through, a sublime gem and the lone vocal piece on disc. The remaining tracks ride a steady stream of techno rhythms, perhaps too polished and minimally slick to lodge in memory but proficient in moving the body. "De Icing" proves the lone exception mining the lower frequencies with DJ precision. A crisp and clean affair, but when the record stops you'll wonder what the fuss was all about. Grade: B"
