Five tracks of nice abstract electronic play, planted a little closer to the dance floor than the listening chair. 'c beam' has a grumbly, rumbly sawing bass, crisp percussion and a simple, vaporous synth chime glockenspiel that repeats throughout. What Autechre might sound like if Sean and Rob really wanted you to dance. 'harmonics' combines a muffled kick drum, syncopated melody pads and a bargain basket of bleeps into a pretty catchy, yet somewhat dated sounding end-product. When I first flipped the disc and dropped 'nexus 6' I thought I somehow had received a bern / detroit mis-press, as the B-side opens with a very UR-sounding strobo-beat. Very minimal electro, with spooky doppler-shift alarm horn sounds, weird electronic mosquitos buzzing in your ears, and the sounds of bank vaults being slammed closed on you in the distance. The second electro installment, 'squid clip' whines over bass heavy bumps and thumps while haunted house chimes spook yo' mind in the background. The highest point of the five tracks here for me is 'serius a', the closer. Rich with deliciously interleaved synthpop lines which were obviously precursors to 'plash' from MaS 6.04 , this track mixes a spot-on beat with lovely, brooding melodies soaring and looping throughout. YumYum. Worth seeking out, though this one may be somewhat hard to find.
