Well, I just broke that rule and put on the LP. I was listening to my favourite radio show - The Gilles Peterson show https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01fm4ss, whilst actually making Spaghetti Bolognese, and it was so soft compared to the intensity of this journey of a grizzle. It's the same old shizzle over here - reckoning that this should be higher up the list, but still, it's warranted. Shit, it was on Spotify shuffle. Shoulda played it through front to back.

While I lament the fact that the days of The Chemical Brothers, Underworld and The Prodigy are over - not to mention Leftfield (editor)  - 20 years on there are glimmers of hope with beats - and this is all on that. I wrote in 2017 "Relentless, unassuming, sputtering, splattering electronica that derives from Fuck Buttons." on this blog and that sums up the style and the origin of Ben Power, the solo-guy in this project. What a way to conclude this entry - let it sputter, as your heart flutters - mine certainly is. Fuck.
