Rounded tones and shining synths drift into
lackluster's "starcell uk" where they're periodically spattered with spunky e-beats and other electrosounds. Between the 12 tracks, 11 short (0:31 - 0:35) "interval" pieces (from CiM) play, generally in a plush-though-urban vein of synth-and-drums. Not of a microscopically "clicky" nature, "click" by aphelion sways on a pulsing bass, streaming synth floe and sparklingly spacy accents. The straightforward percussion of
CiM's "disk three" meets with light haze, then turntable scritchies and a bouncy bassline.
Teasingly soft chimes twinkle and sustain as "cull streak", a
lackluster/sense mix, adopts light, buzzy rhythmification. Light and lovely, "shao" (7:30), from +one, is a bouyant freefloater of tiny beats and trickling notes.
CiM reappears with sweet "commuter love" (3:24) (not to be confused with Kraftwerk's "Computer Love", though similarly evocative of yearning); droning bass phrases surge beneath active drums and prettily scattered synthnotes.
john tejada places start-and-stop beats behind the neofunky whisps and blips of "disappear". Over a bed of distorted speech, the bright and bleepy spirals swirling around suntrapez ( a "lackluster/ brothomStates mix") receive increasingly agitated computerdrumloops.
esem's "preledd" closes the comp with layers of warmly percolating electronic tones backed by down-tempo rhythmics.
