A label that has come to define contemporary electro and an artist whose retro futurism is an effortless evocation of a dark, humid, subtropical, funk-filled universe is an unbeatable combination in my humble opinion. And this is what we have here; Cygnus, whose singular vision is currently riding the zeitgeist of the digital nether regions isn’t putting a foot wrong at the moment and is in the middle of a purple patch that just gets deeper and more iridescent. Coming at you like the bastard son of Roger Troutman and James Stinson, this collection peaks on tracks like ‘Sheffield Bleep’, ‘Ultraterrestrial’ and ‘Hallucinate Data’ where vocodered, effects-laden vocals lay out electronic machine funk laylines. The other tracks are similarly characterized by an eerie minimal funk that implores the listener to read between the lines in order to find a portal to the stars by way of a parallel science fiction world mindset.
