Tasty looking thing is this. It's a CD in a hinged (with a proper screw) laser cut acrylic case designed by David Tagg which looks sweet! This is why and how the physical format will continue to plough on (in diminishing numbers) but there will always be people out there wanting lovely looking things like this. Lovely sounding too I might add! The opener kicks off with a Boards meets Schnauss melodic electronic type number complete with sea and bird samples. The album continues in a similar vein with some tasty chunky beats and some thoroughly bright deep bass. Nice melodic electronics and there's even the odd guitar popping up here and there. There's a nostalgic vibe running through the album but that might be cos it reminds me of late '90s electronica. It's eminently listenable and being there's only 65 copies I don't expect these to hang around too long!

Obfusc returns to Boltfish Recordings with a stunning new album.
"Lost in waves of low-tones and memories from childhood, these foggy windows reveal early 90′s era Warp fragments; bass-beats, subtle melodic bursts, underwater meanderings, manipulated guitars and gentle instrumentals leaves Midnight Dome in a field of its own." - Igloomag
