QNTM CTRL are, according to the press for this release, “the new Cultivated Electronics /Sync 24 born experimental collective!” Other words describe the music herein as “a King-Tubby-meets-Autechre trip through outer space and beyond.” Which I think is very apt. I’m listening to ‘Preacher’ first and I’m very much feeling the vibe in question. A pervasive dubbiness enveloping gossamer light drum and bass drenched in mind juice. ‘Pulsar Forest’ is similar, and runs with crystal sharp old school computer game squawks and the feeling that the universe is slowly grinding to a halt. ‘Smokehouse Shift’ perhaps soundtracks chemical breakdown best, and does feel like a cyborg has got controls of the mixing desk somewhere in a parallel trenchtown powered by quantum mechanics.
