Comment: it is hinted at that Comptroller lives in Edinburgh, Scotland and makes music exploiting old machines (Nintendo Game Boy, Commodore 64). His 10-track, self-titled album is fabulous thanks to permanently variegating rhythmic patterns, intriguing dodges and forays, and glowering, a little dark-sided propulsions. Sometimes it sounds rather like an electro-drenched indie/experimental pop group, however, having similarities with the likes of Suicide, The Silver Apples, or Clinic (for instance, Low Point). On the other side, Red Room is a chiptune-soaked counterpoint to drum and bass artists like Dillinja, and Panacea. Indeed, the progression schemes running on it into an exulting noise cave are highly up to level. Thirdly (or is it already fourthly?) it involves the bows of intense yet elegant gliding electro music. In a word, this is a bully publication by any means.
