It's not often we get CDs from Malaysia, but this Goh Lee Kwang CD came right across the planet and landed in our stereo system and what a joy it is. At least to these ears. Hands begins with some really cool synths that sound like racing cars accelerating. Then we're into crackling and bubbling electronics with a primal beat that Brett says "sounds like someone that has had a lobotomy banging on a cell". You know I've never heard of this sound artist before but I really dig what I'm hearing. I'd recommend this for anyone into experimental synthesis type gear. You can really just lose your self in the abstract sounds and build your own little universe, and I always reckon with this type of stuff you're only limited by your imagination as this is such a colorful palate of alien sounds. The sounds of machines speaking to each other in some coded language on 'Tape 1' would give the likes of Hecker's computer music a run for its money. Out on his own Herbal International label. Impressive stuff.
