We're Go (reissue) vinyl

Sound Metaphors continue to dedicate themselves to unearthing the trippiest, sneakiest gems from the early days of breakbeat and give them a proper reissue treatment for our listening and raving pleasure. High Lonesome Sound System were a collaborative crew made up of Michael Kandel and Tom Chasten who kicked into gear in 1991 with a run of releases on their own Exist Dance label, spearheading the West Coast breaks scene in the process. 'We're Go: Stage 1, 2, 3' is a freaky wiggler of a track with plenty of crafty samples and synth wriggles which speak to the particular vibe the Bay Area rave scene embraced over time, while 'Testimonial' ups the pressure without losing that free-flowing flavour. 'Psychic Dreaming' tips a little towards house without losing the gritty Akai sampler finish, making for the most endearing track on an EP full of mystical charm.
