Delayed due to legal wrangles with NASA the debut LP from
Bloomington, Indiana's prodigal son Doug McLuskey is finally with
us. He initially freaked the Pork back in 2000 with the first of
many digi-ful CD's. By the end of '02 and over 100 tracks
submitted, here are the final 22. Now even this may seem too much
'quantity', but believe me, like Hull, there ain't a lot to do in
Bloomington, so music takes over. No photoshoots, no personal
appearances, no gigs (yet), no interviews just musicàtoo intense ?
Deal with ità And so to the sound of Referencered, though obviously
driven by a somewhat extreme use of technology, "For your Safety"
is awash with humour, darkness and warmth in equal measure. Not
exactly what some may expect from the Hull label but if you
understand what Pork really stands for and sounds like over the
full 100 releases, this LP makes perfect sense. As ever, 'For Your
Safety' has been fully ear tested down at Hull's legendary Lamp
Bar.

My introduction to Pork and the "Future Sound of Hull" was at a
house party in LA. Somewhere between those quaint coastal towns,
the label happened upon Bloomington, Indiana and the music of
Referencered. For Your Safety takes downtempo formulas and gives
them a vigorous shake. Hauntingly beautiful at times,
disorientating and goofy at others, the album coaxes smiles either
way. Even the song titles ("Electronic Beats Made Easy") get to
poke fun. Even "Tribute to the PSS-140" (named after an old Yamaha
keyboard) wears this lo-fi aesthetic on its sleeve. Great to see
that after arguably creating their own genre, Pork can still
introduce some odd agents.
