Signal Generator
Square WaveA new label out of Huddersfield celebrates its debut release and quite frankly it's a bit of a corker. This is unpretentious and classic sounding electronica in the vein of early Aphex Twin/Rephlex. Main track Laidback opens with eighties-styled synth manoeuvres that are added to involving rhythms and melody. There is nothing fancy here, just solid beats, pure sounds and fluid melodies which really work. Random is slower and heavier but maintains the elusive mood that moves the feet but also massages the head too. The two other tracks are also pretty fine but the first couple do it for me. It seems wrong to say it, but these tracks' simplicity are their beauty. My only complaint would be with the slightly naff song titles: Spacy and Random for example. But hey you can't have everything.
