I don't think I’ll rattle too many cages by saying that Plant43, aka Emile Facey, is one of the most consistent electro producers around. His output straddles the deep techno/electro divide and individual tunes are embellished with so many specific emotive flourishes that they linger long in the memory. And this, his latest on his eponymous imprint, could easily serve as a template for all that is good, not only in his own productions, but also for melodic electro generally. Both ‘Storm Control’ and ‘Hydraulic Machines’ perfectly illustrate Facey’s ability to craft many layered, evocative electro which is just as much at home in one’s headspace as on the dance floor. ‘Sparks In The Grey Light’, on the other hand, emphasizes a meditative aspect which is brought out by its more blissful ambience.
