            ░█▒    Freeform (Simon Pyke) distinguishes           ▒█░
            ░█▒    himself from his electronic peers by the      ▒█░
            ░█▒    ethnic sound materials he uses (perhaps       ▒█░
            ░█▒    exclusively, judging by the music here) to    ▒█░
            ░█▒    construct his tracks. On this twenty-eight    ▒█░
            ░█▒    minute EP, all six songs appear to have       ▒█░
            ░█▒    their roots in ethnic folk materials that     ▒█░
            ░█▒    originate out of African or Eastern           ▒█░
            ░█▒    (Middle and Far) locales. But then, while     ▒█░
            ░█▒    retaining the natural, identifiable           ▒█░
            ░█▒    qualities of those materials, he morphs       ▒█░
            ░█▒    them modernistically so that the resultant    ▒█░
            ░█▒    beats, rhythms, and arrangements straddle     ▒█░
            ░█▒    the worlds of older recorded sounds and       ▒█░
            ░█▒    new electronic rhythms. While itÆs a          ▒█░
            ░█▒    clever concept and one that he pulls off      ▒█░
            ░█▒    convincingly, one is ultimately more          ▒█░
            ░█▒    impressed by the expansively orchestrated     ▒█░
            ░█▒    arrangements and overall sound character      ▒█░
            ░█▒    than by melody per se. Consequently,          ▒█░
            ░█▒    PykeÆs music has a tendency to drift past,    ▒█░
            ░█▒    the listener suitably impressed as the        ▒█░
            ░█▒    music plays, but then fade from memory,       ▒█░
            ░█▒    leaving behind a satisfying but vague         ▒█░
            ░█▒    impression. His defenders might argue that    ▒█░
            ░█▒    heÆs merely honouring a particular ethnic     ▒█░
            ░█▒    style which emphasizes percussive rhythm      ▒█░
            ░█▒    over standard melody, and, admittedly,        ▒█░
            ░█▒    there is credence to that argument.           ▒█░
            ░█▒    æQuadrumble,Æ for instance, is primarily a    ▒█░
            ░█▒    drum circle of sorts with its percussive      ▒█░
            ░█▒    array constituted by shakers, congas,         ▒█░
            ░█▒    bells, and drums. Similarly, tracks like      ▒█░
            ░█▒    æWildcatÆ and æDont Put Me InÆ (sic)          ▒█░
            ░█▒    incorporate whistling sounds, folk            ▒█░
            ░█▒    rhythms, and wooden flutes to evoke           ▒█░
            ░█▒    foreign musical styles. The best tracks,      ▒█░
            ░█▒    however, go beyond evocation to conjure a     ▒█░
            ░█▒    fresh fusion of older folk sounds with        ▒█░
            ░█▒    electronics. A prime example is the           ▒█░
            ░█▒    jittery and infectious æNothing to SayÆ       ▒█░
            ░█▒    whose vocal whoops, hand percussion,          ▒█░
            ░█▒    tribal drums, and harmonica are               ▒█░
            ░█▒    transformed by Pyke into some mutant          ▒█░
            ░█▒    hoedown emanating out of some postmodern      ▒█░
            ░█▒    African outback. By adding echoing surges     ▒█░
            ░█▒    and electronic whorling patterns to the       ▒█░
            ░█▒    traditional source materials, he creates a    ▒█░
            ░█▒    compelling new style. This track, along       ▒█░
            ░█▒    with the nimble æSkim and SkiffleÆ with       ▒█░
            ░█▒    its interweaving patterns of bells,           ▒█░
            ░█▒    percussion, and sax, shows FreeformÆs         ▒█░
            ░█▒    music in the best light, as one capable of    ▒█░
            ░█▒    deftly merging ethnic and electronic          ▒█░
            ░█▒    materials into an original hybrid.            ▒█░
