To me, this album displays Four Tet's versatility, evolution, and genius. That he decided to create an album that is so different than "There Is Love In You," that he ventured into jungle and rave, all while keeping his signature sound; one that allows the listener to feel and hear beauty. This was ahead of its time and still bangs, which is why he plays many of the tracks in sets, even in 2019. Well done, Mr. Hebden on this rich and rewarding record. Edward
I had the privilege to see Four Tet live in Amsterdam around 2018. I must have missed this album, because it was missing in the other 8 albums I already have. And what a find. Sometimes Four Tet needs some time to appreciate, but this album is very open and friendly. PlayItLoud!
Debuting alongside three remixes, the Norwegian producer's athletic new techno track puts the "body" in "body music." Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 15, 2021
This is 20 years old now in 2019 and still bangs. Starting with "Glasshead," Four Tet selects radiant and jazzy samples to keep the track flowing. (Check WhoSampled and see for yourself). "Calamine (Radio Mix)" takes the party late into the night with some radio tuning effects. Four Tet's back catalog contains a treasure trove of heaters to listen on their own or to connect the dots and hear the development of his sound...one that is unique, beautiful, and full of emotion.
