"As the vampire rises in the evening dusk, this 2-sided 10" record is a form of rebirth, a second chance or ghost of another time. Originally released on the long unavailable vinyl-only LP of Carthage Milk by Swayzak's James Taylor. These two overlooked swingers are presented in full, glorious, unedited form. Remastered at Dubplates and Mastering (Berlin) they are polyrythmic and ultra-detailed, yet you can sing along! Warm and organic, they blurp and blart a path from the ear to the hips. 'Leave Me Alone' starts in dub house land, quickly taking off with some ever-shifting grooves and an oh-so-blue synth line. Like a hundred tubes of Smarties at once shaking and melting in your hot little hands as everything reduces to a super sweet over-saturated solution of sound. 'Recto/Verso' is the upstart little brother, both annoying and endearing. Its crooning cut-up voices lead us to a superdiluted acid line that comes down via some nasal vowel sounds. A tribute to the lost art of the photocopier. Thanks to Alexxx of Logistic for letting us bring these back to life, thanks also to RRR, DJ Purple and Roger23. And thank you, dear listener."

"James Taylor is none other than half of Swayzak. Since 1998 this English duo has been servicing the global electronic music scene with their deep, groovy and minimal sound. With four albums under their belt already, varying from the subtle high-quality house of Snowboarding In Argentina (1998) and Himawari (2000) to the more pop sound of Dirty Dancing (2002) and Loops From The Bergerie (2004), this double-team have always been guided by their desire to make their recordings elegant and precise. More intimate than recent Swayzak productions, Carthage Milk takes us back to the style of their first studio album, Snowboarding In Argentina, the album that has charmed us with its pure and rolling grooves. With a touch of house and deep ambience, James Taylor gives us a more personal sound. The beautifully-produced techno, seasoned gently with dub, makes this album unforgettable with synthetic warmth."
