Issue No Twenty Two vinyl

The 22nd "Issue" on Regis, Silant Servant and James Ruskin's Jealous God label is predictably impressive. Undoubtedly the most notable inclusion is "The Bond", a rare collaboration between Marcel Dettman and Silent Servant that looks to the sleazy, arpeggio-driven thrust of Electronic Body Music for inspiration. It's the EP's one genuine "peak-time" moment and strong enough to carry the whole 12", though happily Pye Corner Audio's flipside excursions are also impressive. Check, for example, the undulating, fluttering, post dub techno cut "Delay Gratification" and the swirling, hypnotic dancefloor melancholy of inspired closer "The Future", where a lone acid line rises above a dense and poignant backing track.
