Intriguing 12" from Seeland. A 4 tracker on Stereolab's sleepy Duophonic Ultra sonic freee jazz discs or whatever. I can hear everything from Broadcast's more mellow drifty moments to the hazy 70's dreampsych radio pop of Super Furries to even Tindersticks in their twinkly halcyon days. It's really smooth & mellow, summer bliss out music on the A side. The vocal harmony on Side 2's  'Where Are You' is doing my head in. I know it from somewhere. Anyhow, the song is future-retro electro dream pop & is the best track on there for me. Possibly appealing to folk who like everything from early Depeche Mode to Postal Service without even corresponding with the big king of cheese in Cheddarville. Closer 'Turn Again' is like an ambient Beta Band playfully tussling with Plone & is frigging lovely. 'Street Hassle' by Lou Reed is enthusiastically bandied around the office by the boss. Me & Ant nod accordingly. All the fine work of 2 men, from Plone & Broadcast. Probably really limited but ain't everything these days!
