Released on Accidental Jnr, a sub-label of Matthew Herbert’s Accidental, this four tracker form Jerome Hill contains more than a nod in the direction of the label owner himself. Each track here is a sparse, minimal, sample-laden trip into a whimsical world of shape throwing, where one’s coordination could be seriously called into question. I like everything on here, which is saying something as initially the title track did my head in. However, after a short trip down to the post office to post a Discogs snaffled piece of vinyl, I was converted. ‘Transmissions’ has more than a mere whiff of classic Relief, while the schizoid rhythms of ‘More Whiffle’ and ‘RZ Thing’ raise the bar on the whimsical. House with a capital H.
