|   |  The Third Man's Before We Begin EP  is another prototypically      |   |
|   |  beautiful twelve-inch from the ever-reliable Ai imprint. In fact,  |   |
|   |  the material's so polished, it's hard to believe the six tracks    |   |
|   |  constitute the maiden voyage of London-born Toby Leeming. That     |   |
|   |  the EP sounds occasionally derivative of classic Basic             |   |
|   |  Channel-Chain Reaction is a whole lot less objectionable when he   |   |
|   |  proves himself such an artful practitioner of the dub-techno       |   |
|   |  style. But Leeming casts his gaze in a Westerly direction too, in  |   |
|   |  particular towards the rich splendour of Detroit techno (Leeming   |   |
|   |  namechecks Underground Resistance, Andy Stott, Robert Hood, Jeff   |   |
|   |  Mills, Derrick May, Surgeon, Richie Hawtin, Drexciya, A Guy        |   |
|   |  Called Gerald, Plaid, and Monolake, among others as influences).   |   |
|   |  The epically swinging ôOnwards & Upwardsö introduces the EP at a   |   |
|   |  peak level with a gorgeous panorama of charging kick drums,        |   |
|   |  watery chords, pulsating bass lines, and jazzy keyboard riffing.   |   |
|   |  In general, the tracks stylistically alternate between the Motor   |   |
|   |  City and Berlin thereafter. Drenched in gleaming synthesizer       |   |
|   |  patterns, the Detroit-styled cuts ôFast Train to Edinburghö and    |   |
|   |  ôSeditionö surge with light-speed locomotion, while hints of       |   |
|   |  Chain Reaction artists such as Fluxion, Scion, and Various         |   |
|   |  Artists emerge elsewhere: in ôA14 (Eastbound),ö moody starbust     |   |
|   |  flares and hi-hat accents skip across the stereo field as synth    |   |
|   |  waves unfurl and bulbous bass drums pound, while aqueous chords    |   |
|   |  and steaming grooves power the deep dub-techno tracks ô6 A.M. on   |   |
|   |  Leith Walkö and ôA14 (Westbound).ö That influences are audible     |   |
|   |  doesn't discount the fact that the material on Before We Begin EP  |   |
|   |  is silky smooth, the grooves tight, and the tracks heavenly.       |   |
|   |                                                                     |   |
