Reviewed on dusted.
I have a soft spot for chopped up samples, like those crafted by Mouse on Mars, Jason Forrest and (especially!) Prefuse 73. These 7 tracks take the basic principle of harshly cut loops in a variety of directions, evoking IDM, electro, instrumental hip hop and more experimental, Books-esque soundscapes in turn. The result never quite settles into anything head-bobbing, never ends up quite mindblowing in its experimentalism, but its a totally worthwhile once-through listen, interesting without being unpleasant. Its actually a blessing that this is so short, I feel like what is intriguing at half an hour would have been grating at an hour. Highlights include the warped grooves of Cosy, the start-stop piano riffs of Pressure, and DJ Shadow-esque Pumpkins-obscurity-Cupid-de-Locke-sampling Whisper 3.5/5
