( ;D --> Patten’s music doesn’t benefit from prolonged exposure. Certainly, condensed into 23 minutes on the Eolian Instate EP, the producer’s signature style is far more palatable. The tracks on this, his debut release for Warp, are a touch more incisive, although in other respects it seems that little has changed for Patten in the past two years. The sound remains much the same—a pulverised form of electronica tempered with a subtle melodic glow—and passing comparisons can still be made to Actress’ heat-warped techno, or Flying Lotus at his most fervidly psychedelic.)

Application (The Black Dog)

( ;D --> Brothers Martin & Richard Dust from veteran Sheffield-based techno outfit The Black Dog launch their new side project Application with System Fork out on Dust Science Records. In a move away from the free-form experiments of their Black Dog output, Application seeks to apply the regimented leaning principles of Japanese Itamae to their work, where each new task is meticulously studied before being undertaken. Resultantly, System Fork is a highly intricate piece of experimental techno, ranging from the opening watery drones of ‘Ambient A’ to the hand-crafted, chiming dub groove of ‘Steve Reich’s Ice Cream Van’ and more mechanical, Stroboscopic Artefact-esque textures on ‘Siren’.)

GusGus

( ;D --> Together Daníel Ágúst, Veiran and President Bongo are GusGus, Iceland's leading techno-/soul band. GusGus' music is eclectic, and although primarily classified with techno, trip-hop and house music, they have experimented with numerous other styles. They have also remixed several famous artists, including Björk, Depeche Mode, Moloko, and Sigur Rós. Added to this they released the song "Desire" with Ian Brown in January 2004. A remix of the track "Purple" appeared in remixed form on Paul Oakenfold's successful trance compilation called Tranceport. The band's name refers to the 1974 German film Ali: Fear Eats the Soul by Rainer Werner Fassbinder, where a female character is cooking couscous for her lover, pronouncing it "Gus Gus".)

( ;D --> The sign of a great band is that it can manage to create, then expand on, it’s own own inimitable world using a trademark sound which, although recognisable, never ceases to grow and develop. Now approaching their 30th anniversary, Shriekback can be counted as one of those rare bands; at ease in their own skins with nothing to prove but everything to explore.)
