Why write anything when I can just include someone else's words?
Here's a post from nearly a year ago that got me searching for this record
in the first place:

Here is what I got on it:
Shad T. Scott EP ISOPHLUX (techno/triphop)
Coming out of South Florida is S.T.S....Isophlux is his new label,
starting with the first release being a 5-track EP of pure Aphex styled
tracks. The first track called "Sand Pail" having a Warp-esque styled sound
with stellar emotional string arrangements and electronic beats. The second
track called "Orlando Feel" being a total Aphex Twin styled tune with weird
sound sequencing backed up by string patterns. Flipside, track "Seven" that
is just pure random acid notes being tweaked with resonance! "Phluphation"
is a very dark metallic percussive song that sinks deep into your mind.
Lastly, "Isophlux vs. Edward Bobb" is an ambient journey into spaced out
minimalism, ending onto a locked groove.
Sounds delish, huh? Dave at EAR/R is currently trying to find me as
copy. I cannot wait.

That assessment is right-on. I'd have to add though that the song,
"Phluphation", reminds me a lot of AUTECHRE, with their trademark metallic
thunkings-along. Oh, and I've already added "Isophlux vs. Edward Bobb" to
my list of songs that `scare the shit out of my cats for some strange
reason' (right up there with "Virilio" by +N). ;}
Anyway, I got mine at Synaptic if anyone wants to know.
dahs.

EFFECTS sometime soon. Yeeha.
