Marty What a classic this is. The dark minimal is top notch. sRule is an amazing track but it takes some time to get you into it. Where as porch_field grabs you right away what a starter. Also last track is a real banger. Favorite track: porch_field.

Rob Cosh This album is a masteclass in sound design and beat-wrangling. CR's work always makes me want to get busy in the studio. The devil really is in the details - and there is no shortage of details here. Favorite track: porch_field.

about

"Young as it is, this child, we already recognize that it possesses one radiant attribute which signalizes it beyond all its elder sisters. And the lawgivers will not see this marvelous attribute, lest their laws should be thrown to the winds. This child—it floats on air! It touches not the earth with its feet. It knows no law of gravitation. It is well nigh incorporeal. Its material is transparent. It is sonorous air. It is almost Nature herself. It is—free!"

Fredrico Busoni, "Sketch of a New Esthetic of Music," 1911

Cassette loops, a 50-year-old Nagra III reel-to-reel, field recordings, vinyl sampling, vintage analog and modern modular synths, and the very latest in electronic music making software technology all combine forces in the service of a modern take on anachronistic production methodologies. From smooth to squelchy, and from scattershot breakbeat to straight four-on-the-floor, this album is a homage to the history of modern electronic music.
