Coppice Halifax is one of Brian Grainger's alter egos and we have three different 3" CD's available by the man. I'm listening to 'AB4' and thoroghly enjoying it. Here he's on the dubby techno tip. The tracks have a real nice vibe, uplifting melodies and a deep spaced out sound with shimmering dub effects. Influenced by the likes of Basic Channel and Rod Modell but adding his own style to the mix. Heavy sub bass is present which has prompted Brett to ask what is playing. Yeah so if you like the idea of Mileu does dub techno, realy well executed then get in quick as these are limited to 50 copies a peice. Perfect late night listening.

The fourth installment of the ongoing Analog Botany catalog set. This time around we have a very bouncy, almost electro lead-off track with "Falling", and then the heart of the EP, two extended ambient tracks called "Ovals". Bringing to mind the slightly degraded feel of the earlier Coppice Halifax catalog, "Ovals" are very deep and dubbed out minimal pieces with a little bit of grittiness to them. Taking influences from Plastikman, Fluxion and SAW 85-92, and limited to 50.

Tracklisting:

1. Falling (6:13)
2. Ovals (6:59)
3. Ovals II (7:33)
