This second album of electronic musings from Brighton's Stuart
Cullen takes on a darker hue than his acclaimed debut 'Antenna' but
still retains it's predecessor's barbed sense of humour. Mixing
shards of melody, crunchy beats and lo-fi noodlings, infected with
a Heath Robinson crankiness, 'Do It Now Man' strays almost too
deeply into Aphex/Paradinas territory for it's own good.
However, Cullen eventually proves he's his own man - the post acid
crash of the supremely wired 'Paul Oakenfold' with its slurry slug
beats and twisted techno is especially good, as is the defiantly
oddball beauty of the cod-funk 'French Canadian'.
Best of all is the world weary 'Fairplay' where a disembodied Peter
Cook claims "I have had a long life, I've had a very good life. And
I've had just about enough of it really" over a plaintive melody
and stuttering backbeat. Not all of it hangs together though - you
can have too much of a good thing, and the likes of the metronomic
'Nelson' and the Hal Hartley sampling 'Dialogue' outstay their
welcome by a good hour or two.
Despite that 'Do It Now Man' is guaranteed to enthral and infuriate
in equal measures, and ultimately wins you over with a measure of
cheek and unhinged charm. -nme.com
