Crack
The album ends on its most unsettling track, the unrelenting 80 Ondula, which serves to reinforce the record’s severe mood drop over time. 25 years into his career, Jenkinson’s lost none of his mischievousness

Without simply revisiting a bygone golden era, Jenkinson reconsiders some of his old ways, taking some of his more familiar ideas to new, strange places. As always

Much of this album won't sound particularly radical to long-term fans, but there are moments that few other producers could conceptualise, let alone accomplish

On his first proper album in five years, Tom Jenkinson patches together a passel of vintage hardware to revisit the breakbeat mayhem and drill’n’bass hijinks of his early years

It’s a well-produced record, even if Ufabulum is a better example of the new style put to good use
