This is not an easy record, and many Four Tet fans will be disappointed. But its important to note that there were signs on Everything Ecstatic that Kieran Hebden was thinking about taking his music into a darker, more rhythmic and less song-based directions. But this album is a bigger step away than I thought it would be. I must admit, I was unsure on the first couple of plays. But I stuck with it, and I’m glad I did. I had the same great experiences I had with Sun Ra, and more recently with Aphex Twin and Squarepusher – the more you listen to it, the more familiar you are with the music, you begin to realise what's going on and the structure behind the rigorous experimentation. It’s essentially dark, rhythmic, tribal, electronic free jazz. If that floats your boat, you should give it a try. If not, it might give you nightmares. Through perseverance you will find reward. Bring on Vol. 2.

This combination, of Kieran Hedben's Laptop electronica noodles and Steve Reid's jazz comes most naturally, and you are unsure when listening to the music where the sounds have come from. They blend together so effortlessly that you find yourself trapped and lost at the same time. The first few listens can seem irritating, and myself not being a great fan of jazz, needed a few listens to let it sink in. I have to argue the comment from another reviewer who states he could produce this using crockory pots, you couldn't, but even if you could, I'm sure there may still be something interesting in the outcome. If you are a fan of four tet, then there's definatly enough here to interest you, listened to on headphones, when your a little tired, is hypnotic.

VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD
Combining laptronica with live percussion was enough of a concept to get me to fork out, as I'm a big fan of Kieran Hebden and also of music that pushes the envelope a little. Sadly, though, this is a disappointment. Much is made of the fact that it was recorded in a single session, with no overdubs etc. as though this in itself will make an album interesting. Frankly, I think they should have taken a bit longer and come up with something that had more substance. No doubt it was hugely rewarding to produce, but for those of us who weren't at the party the result sounds terribly self-indulgent. One to borrow.
