Alter give Bass Clef's self-released 'Acid Tracts' a double vinyl pressing. It originally appeared as a digital release on the modular maestro's Magic + Dreams label in 2013, spiralling seven "tracts" of intricately detailed acid dub feeling out ground between KFW, Tapes and more recent A Guy Called Gerald releases. It's a quintessentially English sound displaying Ralph Cumbers' talents, and is perhaps best viewed through the prism of vintage IDM. As with his outings for Punch Drunk and Idle Hands, it's tilted towards the 'floor, yet indulges more progressive inclinations, taking in knotty dancehall fibrillations, pinging electro-funk, loping hip hop, radiophonic dub, and restless techno oscillations.
Includes unlimited streaming of Acid Tracts
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

This album feels like the soundtrack for an exploration of a jungle planet full of sentient plants and insectoid aliens. Objekt's use of reverb and negative space creates the sense that sounds are whizzing past you, speeding towards you, and being flung up into space. josh epps

It was a bit too much and samey by the end for me, but if you like dark atmospheres, if you are really interested in sound design or you enjoy the challenge of music that tries to wear you down, you should definitely check this record out.
I loved the echo-drenched drums and percussion and synths and hard to describe sounds on this, but it stays with the same sonic ideas for too long for me to enjoy to try to withstand the harsh wall of sounds minisculebarber
