VHS Head – Persistence Of Vision

What can I say? Ade Blacow is by far and away one of the best electronic music producers out there period. Densely layered slivers of old VHS samples stitched together to reveal more than the sum of their parts. On first listen you might only catch a small amount of detail. Listening to PoV on headphones you can discover so many more intricacies, I find myself just playing back certain sections to try and decipher the tiniest of details in the same way I playback a verse from an MC to catch what was said. Trademark Ribbons of Gold got me hooked, this album shows an advancement in style, mood and composition. I can only imagine what's next. I cannot wait

This album is overwhelming on its first listen, and with the exception of a handful of tracks, didn't leave a lasting impression on me. However throughout the week, I've kept coming back to the album, and revisiting it's tracks as they become more and more familiar. The heavy production, and relentless attitude this album delivers means it's far too easy to miss detail on the first listen... however I can see myself coming back to this for many years to come.
