Comment: it is said this 8-notch track is a collection of unreleased/lost/weird stuff, marking 10 years of Comptroller since 2006 to 2016. So yes by watching the row of released albums by Edinburgh, Scotland-based artist it could be said he has reached aesthetically much during this span of time. Musically he has revitalised a Commodore 64 and Amiga and game console-based tradition, called chiptune/8-bit/tracker music. With regards to most nowadays electronica traditions it could be said that the tracker music legacy is more about to create an electrically loaded field around the listener. In other words, one can perceive thick, loaded electric flows coming out from the both stereo channels. So yes, you can perceive those awkward, rough tiny muscles being constrained behind those electro chords (at times being quite close to the electro-punk/indie attitude). In a word, it is a nice retrospection of the artist.
