*A new version of Luke Solomon's 2008 album, re-edited into shape so as to offer the reduxed versions of tracks formerly only available as part of the DJ-style, mixed format edition of the album* New on Radio Slave's Rekids imprint comes this latest full-length from Luke Solomon, co-founder of the Music For Freaks label. The album gets underway with a stumbling beat running throughout the title track, only for 'The Beat Goes' to clear things up a bit with some slightly disorientating jazz frippery. After a nine-minute meander through 'Robots' Solomon arrives at a more solid, resolved line of enquiry, laying down Hot Chip-like electropop via 'People, Places, Thoughts and Faces'. Like Hot Chip, Solomon has a knack for making danceable electronic music sound loose and vibrant, with a live, swingtime feel characterising 'Top Bottom' and 'Out Of Control'. This kind of informal, slightly kooky policy on structure never affects the quality of the production however, which remains wonderfully clean throughout regardless of how disparate and diverse the individual tracks can seem from one another.
