“Bleep-Tek twisted originals”, eh. Sounds like some new-fangled space toffee. The kindly old man whose motives have recently become twisted out of shape, proffers sonic sweets to the unsuspecting youths. And these don’t come with soft centres. ‘Square Jazz’ is a great piece of drum and bass that is mellow, but durable and, thanks to a throbbing bass for days, has the stamina to stay the course and make 7 minutes feel like the blink of an eye. ‘Sirens’ is more rugged, with sharper, combative edges.It comes from a similar place though, and also feels like it’s well capable of expanding its own private universe whenever it wants. The two remixes of ‘Old Gold’ are quite similar, and, compared to the two originals, go out on an abstract limb. The ‘ Low End Activist Park End Refix’ sounds like the collapse into chaos and disorder we’ve thought could be our ultimate fate since the beginning of time. The ‘Monopolypella Mix’ continues the research into the third law of thermodynamics, becoming an entropic, aural soundscape in the process.
