Reality
With recent
releases from Derek Carr, Steven Rutter and John Shima under its multi-coloured
vinyl belt, FireScope currently holds a lot of aces as far as the stellar
techno game is concerned. Darren Nye has apparently been writing music for over
twenty years, but this is his first release on vinyl and, as such, fits the
FireScope bill perfectly. This also means, however, that you know what you’re
letting yourself in for before the needle hits the groove. Darren Nye’s take on
the sound advanced by his influences is an introspective one, rarely getting
out of second gear, but all the while creating lush, intergalactic soundscapes
which have a contemplative slant. It’s a consistent release, with the
temperature raised a little by ‘Plasmid Soul’ and ‘Fragments’ whose electro
flirtations constantly threaten to break the diaphanous mould which characterizes
the rest of the EP, but stop short of quite doing so.
