Chicago, Detroit, Redruth

Luke Vibert's second album on Planet Mu brings together many strands of his work: Drum and Bass ("ComfyCozy" recalling past glories as Plug); Trip-Hop ("Rotting Flesh Bags" being his finest Wagon Christ type track in years); Breaks ("Breakbeat Metal Music" the possessor af a Speak and Spell lyric of coaxing danceability) and Acid ("Argument Fly" must be the most straight-ahead acid track so far released by monsieur Vibert, reminiscent of F.U.S.E or early 808State...) The album hangs together with the strands of acid, breakbeats, techno and disco at its heart; the reassuring hand of an old master triumphs again.
