...according to our Brian on 18 June 2009.

Philthy just slung a CD at my face and said 'Oi you! Factor this into your days work innit!!' before cackling like an evil retarded child & jumping out of the window a la several episodes of Father Ted. It's by Rocketnumbernine who get points deducted for stapling ALL the syllables into one big search engine stuffing/ career sabotaging modge. I kind of missed You Reflect Me's track uno because I was thinking about jam. And rabbits. But track two is fucking jazz man, it be free & funky, rhythmic & groovy yah. The production is well boss and I feel like i'm in some spacious cellar off my head on 'erbal ciggies & vibes man. That hard, blunted echo-ey drum sound is served even better on 'Doodlebug' by the addition of some monged vintage synth action and a thrumming low-end drone that makes me giggle involuntarily. They also like to piss around with mad sounds & a child's xylophone which is totally OK with me. It makes for a nice interval before the onslaught of more ace sounding tribal drums and tape hiss concealing a malevolent force beneath. You can totally tell they proper love old analogue equipment & recording techniques, there's some cracking atmospherics on this album. There's some paralells to be drawn with these guys and Manchester's A Middle Sex who are soooo worth checking out too! Just don't call them Nu-tribal whatever you do, it's just jammin' man....Good stuff!

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

You Reflect Me marks the first recorded stage of Ben and Tom Page's musical journey together as Rocketnumbernine.
With scintillating rhythm and percussion, the album combines exhausting analogue synthesizers with remnants of fuzz and overdrive, masses of feeding back effects processors and a meditative wall of static culminating in a record that sounds only like itself delving below into the unconscious.
It captures the duo's improvised sonic adventures, with each brother responding and reacting to the music of the other.
Their journeys range from melancholic, almost ambient soundscapes, through to the heaviest and most relentless epics of noise and release.
A successful attempt at creating a mysterious musical world for the listener, You Reflect Me beautifully reveals the band's profound desire to combine their experimental, electronic and jazz influences from the roots and mirrors all of the emotional intensity that brotherhood can bring sounding refreshingly contemporary and gloriously extreme.
Highly recommended...
