Q. What do you get when you cross the frantic head-fuckery of Aphex
   Twin's 'Bucephalus Bouncing Ball' and 'Formula', the sheer 
   expansiveness of Autechre's 'lp5' and the gorgeous melodies of
   Boards of Canada's 'Music Has the Right to Children'?

A. Solar X's 'Little Pretty Automatic'

Just snapped up this little gem on Worm Interface. You may have
already sampled Solar X on the alt.frequencies3 compilation. That
track isn't very representative of the album, which lends itself more
to the influences I cited above. Definitely one for the Skam/MaS fans.

Perfectly paced, with just the right mixture of noise, melody, madness
and tranquility. Definitely one to stick in your car stereo this
summer.
