Onset of SAD getting you down? Why not indulge an album that really lets you savor those oncoming cold, grey, winter days!

CIRCULAR - Substans

One of those records that has a lot of good ideas, but isn't good for those with bouts of ADHD.

2015 UPDATE!

Talk about timing. One of the original artists involved in this recently reached out to me regarding my, erm, not-so flattering thoughts about this release. Can't say I wasn't sincere, even if my early prose was still wallowing in Web 1.5 Era snark.

another artist I wanted to check out for ages, another great album.
been meaning to ever since their collab with sebastian mullaert.
has a loose formula of: simple base loop, kinda atypical supporting elements, dreamy improvisational top layer.
is v effective.
8 track album
Debiasing & Utility was my intro to Barker and I instantly loved but have always wanted to delve into what he made before, anyway finally did just that and glad I did.
Fantastic techno album that drifts from heavy and driving to gentle and ambient
11 track album
onto something more recent, always excited to check out a new k-lone release, this one some very gentle techno/house
