A side's aight, but they've really been taking the "acid" vocal sample too far these days.
Also, 2 tracks for the whole vinyl? Bull.

I like the '90s throwback aspect of these, but I'm not sure if they're actually any good. The A-Side is very Wipeout 2097. The B-side is indeed pure Platipus and I like the bassline, but the progression over the top is pretty dire. It's like the guy set out onto his keyboard and got lost on the way back.
Cloud Pillar on that Forma EP sounds pretty nice though.

A-Side is definitely enjoyable, but the 'Acid' vocal is a bit much for me. B-Side is very enjoyable, obviously very Platipus. Would love to hear it live. Love both sides of the Forma EP.
I feel like both the B-Side and the Forma EP are just trance, but labeled techno since that has more street cred
Ground Loop 1 is the best side for me, everything about is great...especially the way it slowly builds. I didn't find the vocal to be overdone or at all cheesy.
