The Richard James barrelscraping resurgence continues!
If you've heard the basic Aphex Twin / AFX shtick there's not a lot new to find: basic beats // glitchy beats // wobbly alien-anatomy synth lines. No piano, no samples, no production tricks to speak of - it sounds basic, like it was made on basic equipment, analog shades of acid house.
It also sounds lazy: like so much of what's come before, like itself.
On the other hand, there's devils in the details: the subtle deliciousness of some of those fizzling synth hits, the slides between techno/house/IDM, the overloaded layers of track 3.
But back to that first hand: there's too little here. No real beauty, no real invention, nothing to make it worth your trouble over a hundred other songs that sound basically the same 2.5/5
