The uber geeks have been jamming the web forums with speculation that the new The Tuss Confederation Trough EP is a Richard D James production. I must admit when I first heard it I immediately thought it sounded like the Analord tracks. It's credited to Brian Tregaskin. It's pretty good actually some cool analogue sounds and acid squelches. If it's not Aphex then it's someone who's managed to make a carbon copy of his sounds. The chords, emotional strings, tricky beats and evolving rhythms. The second track on the CD is a wicked post acid house groover. Very classic Rephlex sounding. 4 tracks in total, 3 on each format so you'll need to buy both to get all the tracks. Frankly I couldn't give two fucks who the producer is. If you like the music buy it, if you don't then choose not to buy it. The sad thing is that people will buy it just incase it's Aphex.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

Confederation Trough’ EP is the debut single of new Rephlex signing The Tuss aka Brian Tregaskin, a musician
discovered via intensive MySpace exploration by the A&R dept.
Apparently touted by labels such as XL and Ninja, The Tuss’s official line seems inspired by the time FFRR signed
Chicago house legend Lil Louis’ smash hit ‘French Kiss’, even tho they had no information about him at all at the time!
The EP features 4 tracks across 2 formats (just 3 tracks on each tho), featuring a unique blend of head music and dance vibes, everything from acid / house / techno / industrial to pastoral and folk influences.

Tracklist:
- 12": A. Fredugolon 6  B1. Alspacka  B2. Akunk
- CD: 1. Fredugolon 6  2. Alspacka  3. GX1 Solo
