John Roberts made a big impression with his last album for Dial,
Glass Eights, and he's done himself proud on this refined,
impressionistic follow-up, resisting as he has the deep house soft
option in favour of weirder rhythmic arrangements and a well-
defined, evidently very personal palette of post-modern chamber
instrumentation and field recordings. Unlike, say, Pantha Du
Prince, JR mostly favours subtlety and interiority over
grandiloquence; there are no explosions of melody, the prettiness
of each track is only gradually, almost shyly, disclosed - not
least on gleaming highlight 'Mussels', a curious sort of avant-dub
confection that manages to invoke 23 Skidoo, Kode9, Autechre,
Sakamoto and Soft Machine all at once. 'Shoes' reclaims halfstep
from the rudeboys, dressing it with dreamy keyboard improvisations
and yearning, heat-soured synth tones; 'Calico' too is one for the
sensitive steppers, its coiled breakbeats constantly threatening
to bust out into proper 'ardkore tekno but (of course) pulling
back at the last. 'Palace' and the title track are the sole
concessions to straight-ahead 4/4 but even they seem to be
governed by more complex internal mechanisms; special mention also
to the woolly but rousing jazz-wise progression of 'Blanket' and
the near-hauntological drift of 'Braids'.
