I loved that last Prefuse 73 tune. I reckon his new album 'Preparations' is a return to form for the man they call Heron. Bang it on and it really couldn't be anyone else. After just one minute you know it's Prefuse....that organic warmth and melody coupled with the hip hop/ soul infused electronica. It's well earthy and the best thing he's done since 'Vocal Studies and Uprock' album. The melody surges through like no one's business/ It includes that duffer from Battles and School of Seven Bells 'n all so it's an all star cast I think you'll find! It's an extremely comprehensive and enjoyable listen from start to end. Great... the guy's a genius. Also there's a bonus disc called 'Interregnums' which is included with both formats. This is a stand alone album of his classical meanderings which all seem to feature the same sort of warmth you find in his more beaty gear. Quite fantastic.

After various incarnations and mini releases, Guillermo Scott Herren is back with his most accomplished and sonically diverse work since 2003’s revolutionary bestseller ‘One Word Extinguisher’.
·‘Preparations’ features two killer collaborations with NYC contemporaries: one featuring John Stanier from the mighty Battles, the other the lovely ladies from School Of Seven Bells. Also included is the bonus disc too ‘Interregnums’ - which showcases Prefuse 73’s until now unheard explorations into orchestral depth and texture – a real treat for hardcore fans and a great discovery for newbies. It’s so special Warp have kept it under lock and key, keeping it fresh before release. This bonus CD will be available with both CD and vinyl formats.
Lead track ‘The Class Of 73 Bells’ has been hailed as Prefuse’s most strikingly direct track ever and a video based on Kim Hiorthøy’s stunning, psychedelic album art is on its way.
