Canada's Jason Amm has been developing his Music for Robots for some time now, assembling his array of analogue synths and beatboxes and re-arranging them for a sound that hasn't quite been heard before. Yes, this is electropop, but there is a sensibility here that is entirely fresh. The emphasis on melody here is second only to the loving attention to the beat and how it plays its part in charming you into submission. Not quite as camp as Fischerspooner, not quite ac acidic as Adult and not quite as lo-fi as Skanfrom, Solvent look to a sci-fi future that isn't dominated by dark lights and menacing cyborgs, but to one where friendly robots sit beside you eating Ice Cream and asking you for a bodypop. The CD version includes both the tracks that came out on the Bad Jazz 7" 'A Panel Of Experts' and both formats come with a killer Skanfrom remix of the 'Frozen Food' track that appeared on the CCO compilation 'Cashier Escape Route'. Addictive to the last drop of pop, this is another blinding release on the ever wonderful Morr Music Label. Essential
