│ │
│ Of the many aliases attributed to Orlando, FL-based artist │
│ Travis Stewart (aka Syndrone, tstewart) Machine Drum is handily │
│ the most well-known. Although initially conceived as an outlet │
│ for Stewart's drill'n'bass meanderings, Machine Drum's first │
│ public release was a hazy, skittering melange that owed more to │
│ hip-hop and ambient than early Squarepusher. Indeed, the │
│ bursting "Izey Rael" would prove to be the template for Machine │
│ Drum's ensuing long-player. Recorded during the summer of 2000 │
│ through to early 2001 on location in Hickory, NY, and eventually │
│ released on Merck, the brilliant Now You Know would eventually │
│ be released to underground acclaim, firmly establishing the │
│ 19-year-old Stewart as one of IDM's brightest hopes. │
│ │
│ In a genre so alarmingly prone to increasing bouts of insularity │
│ and speciation, Machine Drum's debut long-player is something of │
│ a pleasant diversion. Although there are few fabrics on this │
│ record that haven't been sewn before, Machine Drum's Travis │
│ Stewart travels from reference point to reference point in such │
│ an unencumbered and celebratory fashion that it's difficult not │
│ to get swept up in it all. As a result, certain tracks that seem │
│ like direct homages to various major players on the IDM circuit │
│ are released from the stranglehold of scrutiny, no questions │
│ asked. The joyous chimes of "Hello My Future" (Plaid), the │
│ drunken, angelic strut of "Hihowareyoudoingimfine" ("Arovane"), │
│ the positively stunning climes of closer "Jewlea" (Boards of │
│ Canada) - each and every one absolved of sins of derivation by │
│ way of their stunning compositional structure. It all amounts to │
│ a devastatingly fulfilling debut, doubly promising when you take │
│ into consideration that Stewart was a mere 19 years old when he │
│ recorded this. An absolute must. │
│ │
│ --allmusic │
│ │
│ Japanese release with bonus track "Liquid Thursday" │
│ congratulations to PULSE for having one good ripper in their │
│ group. │
│ Oh, the artwork and shit is different. bye. │
