Rated 3/5
Review by steady-j Aug 07, 2005 (edited over 4 years ago)
4-tracks of neatness from Mr Pyke here.
"Flyplate" takes a neat little "dwip" scratch sound and a bumpy electro-ish rhythm and adds wads of not-quite-melodious synths and a host of little noises to build something quite engaging.
"Hoy" follows in a similar vein, with a nice atmosphere, but it meanders somewhat and just ends up sounding pleasant.
On the flip, track the title track takes a more upfront approach with the percussion, immediately standing out as the strongest track yet on the EP - funky in a uniquely fake-fur-lined way.
The final track, "tour it" combines exquisitely constructed polyrhythms with snappy production and some of the coolest noises around.
Stuff like this demands to be listened to - I can't just leave it on and let it rock while I do other things - I miss all the action - but sitting down to pay attention reaps considerable rewards.
