|   |  A collection of (very) abstract hip-hop instrumentals from new     |   |
|   |  name on the scene Oscar McClure, Compost stitches together a       |   |
|   |  series of relatively short, beat-driven miniatures to create a     |   |
|   |  flowing sequence full of intriguing sound sources and off-kilter   |   |
|   |  timing. McClure's main trick on this release is to take            |   |
|   |  organically sourced recordings and squish the resultant sound      |   |
|   |  matter into kick and snare-shaped pockets. After the auditory      |   |
|   |  amuse bouche of brief drone piece 'Sawdust', 'Grass Cuttings'      |   |
|   |  stutters into life, sounding like an electroacoustic version of    |   |
|   |  something Autechre might have done in the late nineties -          |   |
|   |  crunching and smashing samples taken in the field (very possibly   |   |
|   |  in the most literal sense) until they slip into punchy, swinging   |   |
|   |  rhythmic patterns. 'Weeds' and 'Kitchen Scraps' continue to        |   |
|   |  explore this avenue with considerable success while the likes of   |   |
|   |  'Cardboard' and 'Seaweed' momentarily redirect the playlist in     |   |
|   |  the direction of more esoteric soundscaping. The fusion of         |   |
|   |  cleverly manipulated found sounds and granulated, morphing beat    |   |
|   |  loops is unusual indeed - perhaps this is what Machinefabriek      |   |
|   |  would sound like if he ever went hip-hop (who knows, it might      |   |
|   |  happen) - and Compost certainly makes for an entertaining          |   |
|   |  transgression of genre boundaries.                                 |   |
