Max Cooper's latest album is undoubtedly his most adventurous and expansive work to date. It began life as a commission from the Barbican to produce a hybrid audio/visual piece that could be performed live and took "our obsession with the unobtainable" as its central theme. While the resultant piece is best experienced during one of Cooper's live performances, this album version is still stunning. Mixing neo-classical movements, Terry Riley style synthesizer minimalism, crackling experimental noise, melodic electronica and his trademark brand of emotive, soft touch techno, "Yearning For The Infinite" is a genuinely emotion-stirring sonic journey from an artist who continues to surprise and delight.
