 Planet Mu's Rudi Zygadlo joins Pictures Music for a one off release in the build up
 to his second album: four tracks divided accross two sides of a twelve inch vinyl
 showing the different facets of the artist's composition. Whilst Side A demonstrates
 Zygadlo's quieter sensibilities, replete with live instrumentation, side B is an
 altogether more beat driven affair. There is a distinct pop character running through
 all four tracks, though all the while Zygadlo fights it with unexpected twists and
 turns, general musical filigree and good humour, which lends itself to the narrative
 based musicality of the compositions. "Achtung!" is a pastiche dig at electro, with
 self-remonstrative lyrics exploring youth and materialism. The song culminates with
 pleasing, heavy organ chords stretched over a straight four beat (influences equally
 attributable to Justice or Chromeo). "The Deaf School" is possibly the most in
 keeping track with his previous work. It opens with an incredible wash of pulsating
 and darkly brooding synths which explosively modulate into the opening verse, where
 Zygadlo displays a matured lyrical coherency in describing a composer's neuroses
 concerning personal relationships and the loss of hearing. Dance-friendly stuff.
 Though, perhaps the highlight is the opener, Catherine; a lost beloved, a futile war
 and a motherless son. It is sung with an introspective sincerity, backed by
 decorative guitar and a fitting, nostalgic trumpet line.
