British European back in stock this collection of hypnotic tracks is actually the work of the prolific electronic mad scientists future sound of london it's a wild ride full of dense sonic tapestries and snaky dance pulses the underlying sonic texture of the album is an aqueous one which is set loose from the opening bleats of 'liquid insects' with its soupy acidstew gurgles and thunderclaps one almost imagines the song being broadcast from the surface of jupiter other rapturous tracks include 'n mind' where an electronic melange of bleeps and tweets is grafted over the sound of an underwater heartbeat the electronic stringled 'mountain goat' almost sounds like something culled from the windham hill catalogue 'auto pimp' sounds very much like what its title implies except that highpitched synth sounds lend the track more of a trancelike bearing both 'swab' and 'fat cat' will please denizens of the dance floor with the songs' rolling beats and dense lightsaber like sweeps of sound
