One of those cheap albums bought to knock a Boomkat order over the £50 and into free postage mode and, as usual with these punts, an interesting surprise and a worthy purchase. Leb constructed this album after his sampler/sequencer started giving up the ghost and spewing forth all manner of bizarre electronic sounds and arhythmic noises. He then took these sounds and turned them into the 17 tracks here that, by a myriad of twists and turns, bleep and buzz their way through industrial songscapes with gay abandon and, amazingly, craft some decent tunes out. Nothing too long (most tracks are 2-3 minutes long) so none of the noises really irritate, as the tracks are always meandering into something else. The whole things gives off the air of a cyberpunk soundtrack - the snatches of sound bring to mind snatches of images and expand your consciousness. Not bad for a half-arsed purchase of a throwawy album recorded with broken electronics.
