I watched the Four Tet interview on the last Specialten DVD and decided he seems like a lovely man. I also decided (at that very same moment) to never give one of his records a bad review cos he seems too nice and, if I upset him, the guilt would tear through me like Geoff Capes ripping up phone books.  So here I am with his new album and after the opening statement you know I'm gonna say it's good even if it isn't. Fortunately I do think it's rather good and after multiple listens it's more aggressive and raucous that previous outings. Less folky and more big crashing drums ala bang bang. I play the drums myself so I understand the technicalities and am allowed to utilise phrases like bang bang. If you buy the vinyl they nicely chuck a copy of the CD in for you. This is a limited while stocks last and then the vinyl reverts back to not including the CD. I don't think I phrased that well but what I'm trying to say is it makes sense to buy the LP as you get the CD with it!

Ps the above is a review for the album. In this case lazyness seemed like the good option cos the whole concept of the release seemed quite lazy....

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
