Just a quick word to tip listees the wink on what seems to me the most
accomplished release from an Australian electronica artist.
Sense's _Fourier Transformations_ (a 6-track mini-album) is one to file next
to your (off the top of my head, for reference purposes) early AE, Arovane,
Phonem, Bola, Lackluster, and Thug discs. Plenty of skittery
beats, melancholic melodics, and sometimes cinematic atmospherics (esp. on
track 1: Day Off). More energetic and dynamic than Lackluster's _Container_,
more atmospheric resonance than Phonem's _Hydro Electric_, and with more
sonic dimension to it than Thug's _Isolated Rhythm Chock_, it shares most, I
think, with some of Arovane's (_atol scrap) and Bola's (_Soup_) work, though
the lineage (back to the UK ambi-tech of Aphex and AE) is evident. With this
release Adam Raisbeck (for Sense is he) has shown himself more than worthy
of admission to the Wistful Rhythmic Ambient canon.
