I was not familiar with this project but Weatherall and Warp are known from me and I respect the work of the artist and the label. I was not disapointed, it's a really good electronic music record, with a good blend of sounds and influences. Will definitely listen to it again.

I don’t normally pay much attention to record labels, but I will make an exception for anything from Warp Records from Sheffield who specialise in electronica and dance music. This record certainly lived up to my expectations, falling into three sections. The opening tracks are all fairly sparse techno with minimalist beats but laying down some interesting patterns that build on each other. The record then moves into some heavier dub step with Middle Eastern flourishes and a richer soundscape to play with. The final tracks then come in with more of an ambient, modular synth feel with echoes of 70s bands like Tangerine Dream. My personal highlight for this is the track Theme which sounds like it could be the soundtrack for a classic heist movie with bold, brass stabs and a god like bass line underpinning it. Absolutely epic stuff.
