Comment: Rob Bridgett`s music on this 8-track issue
chimes extraordinarily without being superficial and thin at its centre and its
extremes. For sure, this is an avant-garde issue providing different mental
corners and alternative visions due to creating idiosyncratic soundscapes. For
example, Boneless Chicken is screwed and chopped rnb madness yet this
madness is expertly channelized not prevailing over the course and not hurting
the backbone of the track but instead amplifying strengths of the composition. Indonesian
Donuts has been managed to continue the pathway, however, Rob doing it
tongue-in-cheek with some hip-hop flavour. More deeply, Indonesian
Donuts/yum-yum donuts/so fruity. What else more reasonable could you add to
this advertise-alike statement? Later on, one could perceive twisted ambient
progressions where hyper-realistic revelations are spiced up with strange word
puzzles, uncanny samples and some blissful overdrives. At Black City
Interlude ominous illbient swathes are tightly yet embracing enough air
interwoven with a glitched-out undulation. Charcoal is a composition of
mechanical folktronic guitar arrangements and baggy hip-hop cadences. Vogg
is an ill-omened breakbeat strike with lots of changes in upstairs and
downstairs therefore conveying enough dynamics throughout the track. It could
be said sometime 8 years ago Rob Bridgett made up hugely as an artist to
contribute with the recent one (RRR056) and Pacific (2008), and Arkhives (2008), and Londra (2008) to the legacy and image of Rack And Ruin Records. In a nutshell, it
is one of the most pre-eminent issues under the excellent lo-fi/DIY
imprint.
