"Check out the new record from new Environ act, Baby Oliver! More hot and twisted tracks for disco jackers and neurotic nu-romantics... you don't want to miss it. Baby Oliver's debut 'Primetime/Hypochondriac' was an underground smash hit, gaining notoriety in sets by the finest DJs from disco (Metro Area, Prins Thomas) to house/techno (praise from Carl Craig) and indie floors (Junior Boys, Optimo). And it's no wonder: like the best club music, Baby Oliver's jams slice across genre divides and sound like nothing else coming out! Like any music that makes one feel uncomfortable with its unfamiliarity, it was universally despised by teen clones on venues like iTunes while trendmaking DJs licensed it for their mix CDs (LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy among them). Baby Oliver's new jams expand on the territory he pioneered on his debut. 'Feelings 2' sounds like an out-take from Prince on the day he forgot to take his meds, with the result cut and sliced by Ron Hardy and served up by the Hot Mix 5 on WMBX. The B-side is a slow-building, dark epic called 'Shot Caller' that juxtaposes the sounds of gunshots with the famous Linn Drum rim shot sound in a wry sonic pun. Sprinkled with vocal garnishes rendered from memories of Depeche Mode and Art of Noise, 'Shot Caller' is sure to drive your dancefloors wild."
