#1290 Mr. Flash - Sonic Crusader

Mr. Flash, true to his name, is a showy bloke, whirling a cape of styles in a rainbow flash.

- Disco revival? Word.
- Spacy 80's revival romanticism? Yep.
- Atticus Ross grinddowns? Check.
- Jason Forrest-style sample driven raveup? Boom.
- Meandering ambience? Mmmmhmmmm.
- Terje-swank jams? Uh huh.
- Hip Hop tracks featuring hardhitting dudes and drawly ladies. Done and done.*

It's cheap to review by reference. He started it.

The surprising thing is that it flows pretty goddamn well - it's exciting, spacy, and sexy all at once, strongly recommended for indie fans with eclectic electronic tastes 4/5

* tracks 9, 7, 12, 2, 14, 5, 3, 11
