GAIR RHYDD:
The words 'underground' and 'electronica' are usually far more indicative of white boys with laptops glitching Robbie so he's dancing on the R-R Radio. Here though, Stephen Banbury constructs ridiculously awesome tunes that are as much influenced by, oh, I don't know, every piece of music ever, as they are fantastically in tune with | the now. That's not to say it's cluttered; frequently it's a sparse affair which indicates only what might have been before without ever becoming committed. Akufen's My Way is in the same field as is Aphex Twin, but if you don't know who they are, no matter, as this is quite unlike any record you'd have heard before. 9/10 |
