Ten And Tracer - Big Trouble In Big China
Review by Joshua Anderson
Ten And Tracer's album Big Trouble In Big China is a sonic journey through a world of intricate electronic soundscapes. The album is a blend of glitchy beats, atmospheric pads, and melodic hooks that create a sense of otherworldly beauty.
The opening track "Sudden Exit" sets the tone for the rest of the album with its pulsing rhythms and haunting melodies. From there, the album takes the listener on a diverse journey through various moods and textures.
"Slow Dharma" is a standout track with its hypnotic groove and ethereal textures. "Aerial View" is another highlight, featuring a driving beat and shimmering synths that build to a euphoric crescendo.

Notes
- "No no, it’s not some statement about the economic conditions of our world – it’s just a silly title. If I were to attempt to collapse our economic conditions into a song title it would be a lot more convoluted than that, give me some credit, blog. No, I don’t mean credit in the economic sense. We’ve just really set this off on the wrong foot here, blog. I just wanted to give you this song for the week. It’s another ambient bit to get in the mood for next week’s release: Cold Finishes the Monk mini-album MP3/CDr release on CARE. A follow-up to Tsotsitaal and a sibling of a couple of other releases floating about, getting ready for their introduction into the world by other labels.
- This song represents somewhere along some experimentation with records. Later experiments actually made it onto some forthcoming releases, but this is a lovely little bit of crackles and flutes. Somehow I left it so eerily unrefined and there are some wonderful contradictions that I would never allow in my present mode of production. But, I respect it, blog. I am pleased with what I did and how I thought it was an ok thing to do to leave it full of trouble, yet delicate as china. This is clearly the point where I get to typing nonsense which is also the point when I wrap it up. Thanks for listening and look forward to a new release next week!

- Released as part 7 of the artist's "Year of Ten" weekly series.
