Datach'i work on We Are Always Well, Thank You is much more cohesive than rec+play, his first album. If you've heard that, expect more tracks like Taking Off Your Face and Fried Notes, lots of great drilly beats of natures resembling at times Alec Empire, Aphex Twin, and for one eight second passage, Vapourspace, laid sometimes haphazardly under bleepy casionic melodies and standard 3-bar harmonic progressions. Datach'i's rhythms are in an easy competition with the harmonic overlays; extra beats are slipped in everywhere, syncopation and even complete disconnection from the melodies abounds, and to good effect, conveying a consistent aesthetic with the track titles and... well, I don't know about his sketchy pixelated album art... glad he's moved away from the silly sampling which made r+p intolerable for repeated listening. -josh
