Third CD from Dundee alt-electronic one-man band and things are definitely going in the right direction. The sort of electronic music this guy produces is of the altogether darker variety, songs and instrumentals signed with menace and venom alongside passion and power. The opener, “Trailblazer”, you could almost imagine to be some kind of Prodigy demo – it's got that biting feel to the vocals and this deep, dark cavernous synth bass rumble alongside which sparse percussives crash and the whole thing wreaks of menace. A burst of organ in the mid-section conveys a kind of Gothic feel to it as the title is repeated “ad infinitum” and the whole thing rolls along with solid conviction. “Lose Your Image” rumbles in with rolling synth bass, clattering percussives, what sounds like a distant car horn but's probably an organ, while the slightly treated vocal enters with evil intent and an air of menace as a string synth really adds to the atmosphere of the track and you have to admit that it really works, despite or even because of, it's relative simplicity as the lightness of the synth and piano, counterbalance the darkness elsewhere, on what is becoming my favourite track on the CD. This one definitely reminds me of a much darker, old-style Faithless demo, which can't be bad – Prodigy and Faithless in 2 tracks!! “Yosemite” fair bounces and clatters along at the beginning before undulating bass synth then, of all things, a harmonica, comes in, then clattering el drums in the back and a clipped, out-of focus, slightly more urgent vocal. This disappears to give way to a fogbank of string synth over the clattering percussives and undulating bass synth, as the harmonica comes and goes. This kind of works but I'm really not sure on that harmonica, sparingly used though it may be. Rest of it's OK, although, again, the vocal sounds too “forced”. “Flashbang” is a darkly rhythmic, deeply atmospheric track with an almost reggae-ish feel to the rhythms as the electronic percussives clatter and crash, while over all this, the slowly moving clouds of synth drift and hover, the seeeming juxtaposition of elements working just fine as the track is kept deliberately short and not overstating its welcome. “Shockwave” takes us back to Prodigy territory onl this time, more industrial techno-based, reminding me a bit of Benny Bonassi-meets-Prodigy style of things as the venomous vocal vies with swirling electronics and synths over more rolling, clattering percussion. Finally, “Powerhouse” ends the CD with a dark, slowly flowing slice of electronics, string synth, bass synth and percussives, spending the first bit in dark cosmic mode and sooooo wonderfully atmospheric, before the train-like percussive rhythms come in and the whole thing rolls along to become this solid, bass-heavy, rumble of a track on the bottom, and this mix of soaring, menacing and driving synth layers on the top, dense, dark and really moody. The tracks are not top notch production jobs, so don't expect something from the comparisons I've made, but the quality is excellent, the playing a composition moreso and, for what is essentially demo status, proves to be immensely repeat playable.
