I:Cube - 3 on Versatile - exquisite production values, french style high tech funk. love the track that samples 'no way back' for a percussion loop. Varied, the slow/weird cuts are nice too. And it's all 2xLP pressed at 45rpm, ka-pow! Can Versatile do no wrong? Okay let me get greedy: how about a new Chateau Flight LP ???.. I've about worn my copy of Puzzle down to nothingness.
This is easily one of my records of the year- listening to it on headphones the other day I was struck by the sheer quality of the production- I:Cube puts more effort into his background sounds effects and general "filling" than most people put into a whole track but manages to do so without making it a "look how good my programming skills are" sort of record. Only the track with the accordian lets it down for me (I wouldn't expect people to put up with a Bagpipe-Techno record from me!)
