intro
"Skilled", but unfortunately poorly recorded album of bedroom electronica remixes from London based solo artist
Polaroid Land Camera, toy robot, Fisher Price record player. Some electronics boffin called Printed Circuit gets remixed to merry hell by the likes of Transistor Six and Random Number. The results are totally skilled bedroom electronica to which a closest comparison would probably be an instrumental edit of Hefner’s 'Dead Media', which is fair praise indeed. The fact that the entire thing sounds like it was written on a malfunctioning ZX Spectrum 48k does nothing but make me immediately note Printed Circuit down in the shortlist for album of the year.
