Two new Apple Pips 12"s in today and Instra:mental's 'Leave It All Behind/Forbidden' has drawn the long straw for review fun. A gorgeous electro sound world is opened up the second the needle hits the A-side, prompting Ant to draw a comparison with the laid back grooves of the classic Other People Place LP on Warp - good call son. A skippy little beat and cyborgy female vocal sample round out the package.. And it's a beautifully produced bit of machine soul, I've got to say. Flip that mother and you're in darker territory with slightly more club oriented material which drops a cheeky bit of wobble ( by no means anywhere near enough to offend) in amongst a wonderful percussion sound which kind of sounds like digital sticks being banged together. Digital sticks man, that's the future. Two very finely considered productions which have brought a touch of class to our afternoon.Instra:mental are fast becoming the success story of the year radically blurring the lines between drum & bass and dubstep with a distinctly 80’s influence, these tracks are no exception, absolutely beautiful sounding music as championed on the hugely popular Autonomic Podcasts, support from Mary Anne Hobbs, dBridge, Appleblim and more.
