I occassionally bitch about the lack of reviews / people enthusing about
stuff that they've heard posted to IDMl, and then fail to do anything
about it. So here's a token effort.
I picked this one up earlier in the year, and have dug it out again.
recently. It's very nice. It's not strictly IDM (it's probably
tech-house or something, with a few downtempo moments) but it really
hits a lot of the same buttons - imagine the looping melodies of chimes,
bleeps and melancholy pads from IDM grafted on to gently jacking beats.
The downtempo tracks, meanwhile, move into the same sort of space that
Merck's acts were exploring a few years ago, minus the overt hip hop
influences. Both sorts do the job quite nicely.
It's not quite all-killer no-filler - a couple of tracks feel like
they're going through the motions - but there are a lot of gems, and the
whole thing flows together very nicley. All in all, it's well worth
picking up.
