Chilloutowy bitmejking i instrumentalny hip-hop od producenta z kręgu DMX Krew. Śliczne numery do odpływania w marzenia i wczuwania się w bassline'y. Zdecydowanie dla fanów Boards of Canada!

Central Processing Unit's most recent album releases, from 96 Back, Noumen and Nullptr, were all incredible, so hopes are naturally high for this full-length from hip-hop beat-maker turned electro scene stalwart Paul Blackford. It is, unsurprisingly, rather good, with Blackford delivering a string of cuts that mix ear-pleasing analogue basslines (some squelchy, others more angular) with relaxed chords, shimmering synthesizer sounds, picturesque melodies and beats that are largely a lot more laidback than some of the punchy, sci-fi flavoured fare CPU has been putting out of late. Blackford's hip-hop roots can be heard in the swing of the beats, while the melodies and synth sounds used throughout are far warmer and woozier than the often cold and clinical choices associated with the more intergalactic end of the electro spectrum.
