       │ Perhaps the most intriguing new signing to Planet Mu in some ││
       │ time, Julian Fane has already had much fanfare surrounding   ││
       │ him over the last couple of months - and for good reason.    ││
       │ 'Special Forces' is the latest in a small but impeccable     ││
       │ selection of records that have dared to dip into hugely      ││
       │ accessable AND uncompromisingly experimental terrain with    ││
       │ one and the same breath. It employs the same hazy distorted  ││
       │ instrumentation that can be traced back to My Bloody         ││
       │ Valentine and that has typified the likes of Fennesz, Sigur  ││
       │ Ros, Dntel and the more ambient stretches of Lexaunculpt     ││
       │ over the last few years. There are moments of vast, modified ││
       │ orchestral greatness (Freezing), Harold Budd influenced      ││
       │ ambience (The Birthday Boys), Piano-driven late night        ││
       │ reflections (In Space) and choral, new wave synth            ││
       │ soundtracks (Exit New Year). Julian composes and sings with  ││
       │ a beautifully broken fragility that belies the hugely wide   ││
       │ scope of his production technique and understanding of new   ││
       │ forms and shapes in music. It's a remarkable debut, one      ││
       │ that's well worth investigating immediately. Highly          ││
       │ Recommended.                                                 ││
