This review is from: Chicken Wings & Beef Fried Rice (Audio CD)

Abe Duque's first album as Kirlian, CHICKEN WINGS & BEEF FRIED RICE, takes an almost pure approach to techno -- at first. "%#%^" and "Power" are straightforward acid bangers, while "Al Go Rhythms" is completely percussion-based. And although the tracks are by no means bad, they seem a little bare for my tastes. After about two minutes of "Can You Hang?," you get the picture, and the changes in dynamics come as no surprise. "Nutzak" has some more personality, with its simple plucked bass and funk guitar, but it's not quite enough yet. And even though "Hollywood Shuffle" is the longest track at almost 11 minutes, I don't think it distinguished itself in its ambient sensibilities. If anything, it makes "No You Can't Have It" stand out as a dancefloor killer, and the closest thing to an actual song. Perhaps that's the point, that you don't know typical song structure for dancefloor techno -- but in the end, techno should succeed both on the floor and in the headphones.
