...according to our Brett on 04 February 2009.

The other day, to be known henceforth as the Snowmogeddon, I was in a well-known supermarket chain that I can't mention because might jeopardise my Tesco sponsorship deal when a man approached a disinterested, miserable-looking worker to ask him if they sold Vesta ready meals. The manager was summoned and asked the same question, at which point I expected a swift fob-off but was surprised to hear a response that permanently changed my way of thinking. "I wish we did mate, I used to love the chow mein." The conversation grew while I pretended to look at bread buns in order to eavesdrop further. Favourite flavours, ease of cooking, waning availability down the years.. There was laughter, there were tears. Hours passed and the idea of a freezer section lock-in was at first feared, then warmly welcomed. The unspoken bond these men formed over low effort foodstuffs touched something deep inside me that can't ever be untouched. This Cheju CD is really, really good too. Non-coffee table laidbacktronica that isn't Boards of Canada? I'd buy that for a dollar! We've also got limited copies with a bonus DVD for a few extra pounds. Broken Waves is out on his own Boltfish label and it's part of Brett's CD Club this week.

What their label says...

"Broken Waves feels like the first exceptional electronica release of 2009"
[SIC] Magazine

Boltfish Recordings co-owner CHEjU presents an album offering a superb collection of tracks in his distinctive style. The release also includes specially commissioned remixes by other Boltfish artists.
This release is presented in a Digipak.

Cheju’s distinctive brand of warm, melodic and glitchy electronic music blends glowing analogue synth tones, deep layers of atmospheric textures and complex beatwork.  Tracks such as Object Not Found, Pica, Pantone and Hikari balance crunchy broken drum patterns with warm, gleaming synths, whilst Pachinko, Closing In, Blanchot and Bracken exhibit a softer, warmer side of the artist’s production style, with dulcet electronic melodies and crisp intricate beats.  Traces and Data Packet add treated post-rock / shoegaze-influenced guitar textures to the mix, and Moiréis a more minimal, dusty and granular piece, built around heavily processed piano tones.

Also available in a limited edition, you can purchase a bonus DVD featuring specially commissioned videos of Data Packet and Object Not Found by Pixelpusher.
