Weird Ribs - Tubes (2010)

Comment: not only Bradford Cox can forge excellent music. Here is 22-year-old Englishman Joseph Cox who is as similarly as his well-known namesake influenced by electronic, ambient and psychedelic sound. However, a native from Newcastle was previously known thanks to his obscure ambient project Fragile Battleship. Anyway, Cox takes out some elements from there and fuses them with the oscillating vibes of Kosmische Musik and krautrock, following at times slightly more pop-oriented (Tangerine Dream; Harmonia; Cluster), at times more profound, orthodox alchemy (a la Conrad Schnitzler). On the other side, if to compare it with contemporary kindred souls you can direct spot upon Growing, Emeralds, Fuck Buttons, Oneohtrix Point Never and many othe rones. In a nutshell, this 9-track issue is truly epic and huge.
