I do like releases which unselfconsciously have a bit of “everything”, and this is one such occasion on which one does not gorge too much on the same speciality. It’s not an amazing record by any stretch, just very well produced, versatile and metaphysical. For what it’s worth, my favourite track here is ‘Pay It Forwards’, an excellent piece of stellar electro. The title track has menace in abundance and plays with adeptly manipulates its sense of space. ‘Hoax’, by comparison, feels like classic mid nineties Mills or Hood (such comparisons will always be made, no matter how effective the tune in question is), while ‘Pandora’s Box’ recalls ‘The Art of Stalking’, with a little added wonk.
