Basically
if you’re confused over the release format of the
Astrobotnia project, don’t worry we were as well
but it’s really quite simple when it comes down to
it. The Rephlex label is releasing Astrobotnia is three
separate parts but we had the chance to check out some
of each. Part 1 is a mini-LP/CD featuring nine tunes of
that spooky yet child-like Rephlex sound. The first tune
starts with the always soothing and memorable sound of
a fireworks display backed by some vicious sub-bass and
dreamy Aphex synths. But just when you’re feeling
reminiscent and relaxed, Astrobotnia starts chanting something
about Satan being a good pal which while funny, almost
ruins the vibe but you didn’t expect a predictable
release from the label did you? Part 2 is a six track
EP of “dancefloor” tracks that are glitched
up and skittish with more of those beloved Aphex synth
sounds. Part is an 11 track LP/CD of heavy breakbeat and
cheeky space travel sounds and really makes you wonder
what exactly you’re dealing with here. Perhaps besides
the length of the project, it really is best that it’s
broken into separate parts because Astrobotnia loves cracking
back those shells and taking the pieces that look most
tasty. For a Rephlex release it may be somewhat predictable
but that’s really hard to write with a straight face.
Who exactly is behind this anyway? -FEDS
