New Advances In Lizard Tech - Reptant (Craigie Knowes)


Title: New Advances In Lizard Tech
Artist: Reptant 
Label: Craigie Knowes
Cat Number: CKNOWEP17
Genre: Techno

A1: Lizard Theme
A2: The Raid
B1: Transcendants From The Outer Sphere

A name to watch after a slew of hat trick of ear snagging releases, Reptant slithers his way into the spotlight with this three tracker, courtesy of Craigie Knowes, which shows a versatility hitherto unknown in the reptile kingdom. ‘The Raid’ is an electro morsel, adorned with sonic non sequiturs that work wonderfully. ‘Transcendants From The Outer Sphere’ is a sparse little number which relies on gossamer taut breaks to drive it through the firmament, and ‘Lizard Theme’ feels like the soundtrack to some mudskippers having a rave back in the Devonian Period. A strong sense of uncertainty throbs beneath A2 and A3 in the shape of a welcome trance inducting bass. Reptant plays his hand well on this release, modulating the minutia between each tune.
