New stuff from Robert Hood is always a cause for celebration. The Detroit don as a discography which is second to none and can lay claim to having one of the most distinctive sounds in techno. I’m not hearing it here though. ‘Amazon Dust’ is said to be reminiscent of his Monobox aliias, which was last seen at the tail end of 2021. I like it, as much as anyone can like a piece of competent bug room techno. ‘Hectic’ is a brain melter whose one redeeming feature is the siren that blast sporadically. It’s aptly named, but feels contrived. Hood still has the edge over most when it comes to making this stuff, and if this is where he is now then fine. However, it does feel formulaic.
