This is Suburban Knight’s first release since 2022’s excellent ‘Hi8tus’ album on Deeptrax, which was  a very inventive and varied piece of work. ‘Winds Of Fear’ is much more conventional and straightforward. Built around a loop that is draped with the sound of swirling wind, it’s a passable piece of techno for sure. Robert Hood’s edit doesn;t do that much to the original, and certainly doesn’t improve on it. Some effects and that’s about it. Eddie Fowlkes slows things down a little and squelches along a route of more studied syncopation. Again it won’t pull up any trees, but it’s certainly a more interesting departure than Hood’s mix.
