referencing The Job, CD, Album, F&F031, RTD 176.2931.2, CGA 052

Retro-chic is now just a word but Op:L Bastards did have something that made their music distinctive from instant synthie-cliches of International Dee-Jay Gigolos or Disko B repertoire invaded with the likes of Miss Kittin or Artist Unknown. 'The Job' on occasion runs like a forgotten band from early 80s Finland as analogue synths are given their absolute reign, still tracks like 'Masqued Lover' show the group are not depending on synthetics alone but bring innovative acoustic treatments into the whole. 8/10
