Compro represents a refinement of recent Skee Mask material. IDM proclivities and anthemic sub-bass permeate much of the album, where every moment of endearment is matched equally by percussive excellence and sonic intrepidity.
Above all, Nothing Is Still is an excellent demonstration of what Leon Vynehall is capable of when he emerges from the confines of club music.
Rival Consoles certainly holds a blueprint to the dreamworld contained within Persona.
In Another Life is a glorious return for Perri, an album that sits just outside of pop music. Any minor idiosyncrasies are downplayed by just how gorgeous and listenable these songs truly are.
What Oneohtrix Point Never accomplishes on Age Of is similar to that of Garden of Delete. Taking a sonic palette and deconstructing it to the point of only referential recognition, yet somehow managing to maintain sonic congruency is what Daniel Lopatin is a master at.
Structural concerns aside, Singularity still finds Hopkins exploring sonic textures as deeply as ever. It's an album that, in its best moments, finds one of electronic music's great minds operating in peak form.
It's perhaps a tad long and unwieldy, but there's no denying Kozalla's skills as a master collagist here.
