Hello Matthew.. here's a mini-review i posted on
the IDM-L late January.. A very fine release that
continues to please..
quoted 1 line>>
The next wave of Swedish electronics has arrived!
Just received the new Boulderdash release on
Recordings Under Construction called 'We Never
Went To Koxut Island'. You may recognize Hans
Moller and Daniel Skaborn operating under the
Juicehead guise (also on RUC), as well as working
with the folks at Audionaut Records based in
Stockholm, Sweden. The Juicehead project relied
on experimental drum and bass to produce a
soundscape of rich texture's and swift drum programming.
This time around we get to hear Boulderdash and
their unique array of lovely sounds.
'We Never Went..' is a sonic palette of subtle hip-hop
beats and intricate melodies, fusing jazz elements with
a relaxed atmosphere of hyper-funk and crispy rhythms.
My ears are pleasantly awakened to hear Hans and Daniel
creating music that expands your thoughts and relaxes
your body. Think of Autechrean beats with a Boards of
Canada attitude, and Boulderdash levitates peacefully in
this area of abstract yet calming electronics.
Check out the RUC label at the following url for more
information: www.ruc.com. You might want to check
www.audionaut.com for other fine releases such as Dribs'
'In Dribs & Drabs', Spinform's 'To Hear is Not To Listen'

Also upcoming on RUC is Slyboot's 'Warriors on the Sly'
(March 2000), as well as a compilation called 'Dying for
Kredd pt II' (October 2000)..
