Released in the same year as Synthesis over on KPM, 1974’s Synthesizer and Percussion is its essential companion piece. “This record features the many distinctive sounds of the ARP Synthesizer plus percussion in various moods and tempos” is the even more underwhelming than usual library record sales pitch for Alan Hawkshaw and Brian Bennett’s second collection of what is basically minimal G-funk, with overtones of primitive acid house. This is ridiculously good.
This is one of Hawkshaw and Bennett’s wilder joints and aeons ahead of its time. Bennett’s tough drums provide the underpinnings for the prominent bass, keys and bubbling synths high up in the mix, alongside Hawkshaw’s deranged clavinet-funk-rock. There are heavenly break loops galore.
Opener "Mon Amour" is ultra-smooth funk, all inter-weaving melodic lines whilst the seminal "Oddball" is an incredible hard electro strut with a knocking break. "Mile High Swinger" is a tranquil Spaghetti Western whistling theme over double tempo rhythmic movement and the pulsating "Auto Pilot" has a percussive groove elevated by electric piano and synthesizer. Check "Driving Force”, “Home Run” and "Pacesetter" for electroid prog-funk dripped in acid squelch.
All five final tracks are beatless synth workouts, because they can.

Publicado el mismo año que Synthesis en KPM, Synthesizer and Percussion, de 1974, es su compañero esencial. "Este disco presenta los muchos sonidos distintivos del sintetizador ARP más la percusión en varios estados de ánimo y tempos" es el argumento de venta, aún más decepcionante que el habitual, de la segunda colección de Alan Hawkshaw y Brian Bennett, que es básicamente G-funk minimalista, con matices de acid house primitivo. Esto es ridículamente bueno.
Es uno de los discos más salvajes de Hawkshaw y Bennett y está adelantado a su tiempo. La dura batería de Bennett proporciona la base para el bajo prominente, las teclas y los sintetizadores burbujeantes en lo alto de la mezcla, junto con el desquiciado clavinet-funk-rock de Hawkshaw. Hay un montón de bucles de ruptura celestiales.
El primer tema, "Mon Amour", es un funk ultra suave, con líneas melódicas entrelazadas, mientras que la seminal "Oddball" es un increíble puntal de electro duro con una pausa impactante. "Mile High Swinger" es un tranquilo tema silbante del Spaghetti Western sobre un movimiento rítmico de doble tempo y el pulsante "Auto Pilot" tiene un groove percusivo elevado por el piano eléctrico y el sintetizador. En "Driving Force", "Home Run" y "Pacesetter" se puede escuchar un prog-funk electroideado y con un toque de ácido.
Los cinco temas finales son ejercicios de sintetizador sin ritmo, porque pueden hacerlo.
