Rave on U lives by its name; a progressive evolving take on dance music that falls slightly outside the norm. It starts routinely enough with a fairly traditional take on the genre, before sounds and composition go from a minor to major key and then drift into the completely discordant.
Each element of the track takes odd turns into the obscure. Traditional techniques for processing audio in this genre are taken past their usual settings making them caricatures of conventions long held. But throughout its experimentation, the track remains faithful to its core of strong rhythmic percussion and repeating melodies.
This results in a track with eccentricities that provide unique character and a rigidity that stops them being all consuming. It remains fun and full of energy throughout its longer playtime. A unique take on a now classic sound.
