a stunning, solid and concise effort from kit clayton on this new
vertical form release. seven linked tracks of sonic mastery see
clayton achieve a pace and fluidity that has been lacking in his
previous releases. the sounds are all his trademarked brand of
crackly, downsampled grittiness, but are used to much greater
effect this time around. there is definitely a unified approach to
this disc: things start off with a grumbling deepness and slowly
evolve to a rambunctious pace towards the disc's end. bucking the
temptation to hit us with more beat-oriented material, clayton
here has exercised restraint, but without making it feel like he's
exercised restraint. he's created a world filled with rhythm, yes,
but it's also a world of sonic strangeness and complexity. the dub
factor is also less prevalent this time around, and this allows a
certain liberation from his past excursions. the disc might have
functioned better as a single 38-minute track, but then i suppose
people would have asked for track breaks, which vertical form has
included here. when the nine-minute sixth track bursts out, it's a
rich and wondrous affair: the sounds brighten, the quietude lifts
and clayton reaches the apex of all his music to date. simply
wonderful. [vils m disanto]
