Tricky one to write about this, 5 tracks of organically evolving electronica that is a black as anything and unlike so much else out there at the moment. This Nottingham based duo have made something not so far away from Aphex Twin's ambient work series.... but the doom and darkness enveloping this work is pretty stunning to say the least, and that's what so annoying about this (for me at least)... I have no idea how to describe or write how they sound and how they feel and what they evoke and what they want. It's almost like a fucked up merging of Autechre's early work and AFX's pop sensibilities whilst at the same time secretly plotting to want to be more like Justin K Broadrick. Its impossible to describe for me this, which must mean something. Either way I'm pretty impressed and looking forward to hearing more...
