Recent Live Review at Mono (Author unknown)
"Many years ago, when I first saw Autechre at Manchester’s Roadhouse (it must have been around 1995), they insisted that all the stage lights be turned off when they came on. The result was two barely discernable figures in the gloom – the ultimate in invisibility on stage. Or so I thought. Sound and animation artist Konx-Om-Pax took that one stage further by crouching on the floor in the dark, behind most of the equipment, peering at his laptop. Only the occasional flash of movement gave away his position. To be honest, it was no less dull, in a visual way, than the recent Murcof show where Fernando Corona stood in full view staring at his Apple. At times Konx-Om-Pax’s music was extraordinary. One track resembled the sound of dying pinball machines blitzed in a hail of white noise: another a beautiful, looped prepared piano melody gradually attacked by a plague of viruses. It was difficult listening at times, but totally absorbing. The most bizarre track of all was the final one – a completely straight and funky slice of minimal techno that seemed to beam in from another set altogether."

With a history of invention spanning such diverse creations as the telephone, golf and economics, Scotland has proven itself to be at the forefront of well, basically, genius. To prove this once again, Nerve Recordings have focused on this part of the world for it's new release - The Intercity EP, featuring producers spread the length and breadth of Scotland (with a guest appearance from Singapore). From the dubby beats of Morphy to the techy futurism of Velocet, most of the sub genre's of drum n bass make an appearance here and show the quality and diversity of the production talent in the country. Starting with the tough beats of "Ruffneck" through to Linden's smooth roller "Day by Day" and finishing on two slabs of downtempo in the shape of Velocet's epic "Go With The Flaw" and the doom laden sounds of "Not In My Town" from the Figures of the Lost Dawn.
Tracklisting:
1) "Ruffneck" - Morphy 2) "Awaken Life" - Velocet & Paul Reset 3) "Island Rock" - Morphy & Kiat 4) "Day By Day" - Linden 5) "Tenma" - 9 Tails Fox 6) "Positive Vibes" - BZ 7) "Go With The Flaw" - Velocet 8) "Not In My Town" - The Figures of the Lost Dawn
