What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Ant feeling happy.

It's been a while since Rephlex put anything out by Aleksi Perala (Ovuca / Astrobotnia). 'Project V' is a showcase of how this artist produces electronic music of varying styles. From deep thoughtful pieces to more upbeat dancefloor tracks. The production is clean and there are some pleasant melodies. 'Huska' almost reminds me of a Red Planet record. Very Undergound Resistance sounding. While 'Spacetime' is like Jack Dangers and Brian Dougans having a big electo breaks jam. 'Underwater Carousel' meanwhile could have been lifted straight from the Richard D James LP on Warp. With its skewed take on child like melodic electronics. 'Dark Energy' does what it says on the tin. A 4/4 sci-fi tecnho cut. There's even some Bogdan and Squarepusher style tracks.

What the label says:

*Aleksi Perala from Finland. Male. Born 1976. A true cornerstone in the Rephlex
stable.
*PREVIOUSLY: Project I: Ovuca 'Lactavent' (1999).Project II: Ovuca 'King Stacey
' /'Onclements' (2000). Project III: Ovuca 'Wasted Sunday' (2001) One of the
most polished albums that Rephlex have released. Absolutely superb . A Brain
-dance masterpiece. Project IV: 'Astrobotnia' parts 1, 2 & 3 (2002) Quirkiness,
catchy melancholy, spacey creativity. A great underground success, superb

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.
