Under the Headshell moniker Mark combines > a hazy build of downtempo breaks with 909 programming that together > glide along smoothly, offering an un-nerving yet Zen-like meditative > quality. Minimalist in construction ala Photek, Headshell=92s drum > programming becomes the foundation for brewing and whistling > atmospherics and heavily portamento'ed melodies that have a > slightly anxious edge. This combination of sparse, occasionally > frenzied rhythms and nervous yet playful chord progressions makes > for a lucid listen not unlike something you would get by crossing > older Black Dog with Mick Harris=92 slower recordings.
