Impressionistic electronic nostalgia on The Host's awesome debut, mining Web 1.0 aesthetics, 70s cosmix and 90s beatworks.
Inticately-programmed percussion tempers jittery drum-machine hyper-activity on "Angel Fire", sitting halfway between classic Planet Mu IDM projects and their recent showcases of footwork variants; intermittant, searching sweeps of vintage Komische synth keep drifting across the album, ushering in beatless stretches like "Hidden Ontology" and the longing arpeggios of "Rainy Sequences/Phosphene Patterns" that melt beutifully into a guitar line that drips with Ash Ra Tempel warmth. There's even 80s styles on the heavily delayed jam "Internet Archaeology" and occasionally a jazz-funk bassline peeping above a spongy parapet of saturated electronics.
