Hi Folks, just handed over some beads and trinkets in return for the following: Strider, B. - Bradley's Robot 4 track EP RePHLeX CAT020 Top-notch melancholic, minimal, trancey techno. Very good use of "organic" sounding noises throughout like string plucks and aphex-like noises-of-insects-chewing. The final track is the real peach. It features some excellent bongo style patter percussion that is so well programmed that it doesn't sound programmed at all, despite being as rigidly 4/4 as anything else on the EP. Utterly hypnotic. The best thing though is the Xmas present from RePHLeX that it comes packaged in: a 3 foot by 4 foot, silver and green poster of the RePHLeX records logo! Smart! love, Rob ;-) ----------------------------------------------------------- 'Drum Machines - hell, you just programme the motherfucker, press a button, you got that "bim, bam, boom" twenty four hours a day if you want it. You want it to stop? Press another button! Synthesizers too. I love 'em!' - Miles Davis, 1986
