#2130 Africaine 808 - Basar

Labyrinthine, slow-writhing electronic music. A tangle of non-Western beats skitter and pulse, driven by their own motives, while pulses and squiggles and drifting Orbitalisms dance over top.

A sludgy lull around Nation / Ready for Something New nearly kills the momentum, and the whole thing runs a bit long, but I'm reminded distantly of Since I Left You - it's an album with its own agenda, that moves at its own pace, running across personal, secret contours that could take years to map 3.5/5
