Plant43, aka Emile Facey is one of electro’s most prolific and most recognisable producers. His sound is many layered, dramatic and emotive, it is also occasionally conceptual, as in this release. ‘Interlinked’ is a work which is intended to evoke memories of The UK’s membership of the European Union, as well as expressing both sadness at its leaving, and hope for the future. And without trying too hard to shoehorn feelings into tenuous links, it can be argued that the tracks here convey a range of emotions and poignancy enough to capture the desired context. Both ‘Interlinked’ and ‘Ancient Voice’ do an excellent job of depicting a grandiose electro wistfulness, while ‘The Silent Flock’ is a downbeat chin stroker. All the compositions are made for contemplating things that might just be beyond the reach of mere mortals though, and are elegant soundtracks for a world currently out of control.
