What we say This record left our Ant feeling happy. Moving swiftly on to Panoptique Electrical with a CD called 'Let The Darkness' At You on Sensory Projects. Cripes this sounds dead miserable and all but in a good way of course. This is some icy desolate sounding melancholy electronics from Jason Sweeny (Pretty Boy Crossover). 19 tracks long with titles like 'I Thought The Lonliness Would Leave Me Too But Now I Hope It Stays Because I Have Nothing Else' you know not to expect a big party album. This is captivating stuff and the more I listen, the more I'm really becoming absorbed in it. There's somewhat of an isolationist thing happening at times but the cold sounds are punctured with warming melodies and a hearty injection of human feeling through the computer, guitar and piano. Quite a difficult one to describe this.. I guess it just evokes feelings/ an emotional response from me that gives me pleasure. What more can you ask from an album? What the label says: Panoptique Electrical is Jason Sweney, best known for his work as part of Pretty Boy Crosover. ‘Let The Darkness At You’ collects instrumental pieces recorded by Sweeney for film, animated film, and theatre performances, in various towns and cities including Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Albury, and Wagga Wagga in Australia, Banff (Canada), Los Angeles (USA), Glasgow (Scotland), and Brussels (Belgium), between 1998 and 2008. In early 2008, Jason set to re-working and re-contextualizing these pieces to create ‘Let The Darkness At You’. There is a real sense of space throughout ‘Let the darkness at you’ arguably because of the ambient nature of the pieces and because they were written in the main for use in film and theatre. The music is also charged with something raw, visceral, and emotive; Sweeney capturing a shimmering introspection through the manipulation of guitars, pianos, and computers.

About the humble CD:

The CD is essentially a small portable face mirror which has an extra feature of being able to play music (through a thing known as a CD player). These CD's are a modern invention hence them being all shiny and digital. They can hold about 80 minutes of music and apparently are indestructible as you can smear jam on them and they still play (not as nourishing as toast mind you but when you're hungry.....). They sound crystal clear and are tiny convenient things. They lack the charm and warmth of their old analogue counterparts but their portability, convenience and ease of being duplicated make them a perfect thing of a thing for most folks. Jewel cases are the worst thing ever though and they really need to stop.
