Diligent in design whilst playful throughout, we think this will certainly turn heads for fans of early Warp and Rephlex. Don’t sleep on this one!
Drilling percussion, scattered melodies and U-turns at a breakneck pace
Coming off of his Mind The Gap EP on Waxing Crescent and earlier this year with the seminal Human Condition on Cue Dot, Fragile X (aka J. Gorecki) strikes yet again with his newest full length, The Man With The Plastic Brain. Drilling percussion, scattered melodies and U-turns at a breakneck pace, John shows us he’s very much in peak form. Igloo Magazine have been given a track premiere a week ahead of next weeks release — “Loaded Dice.” This track definitely exemplifies the direction of this release. Diligent in design whilst playful throughout, we think this will certainly turn heads for fans of early Warp and Rephlex. Don’t sleep on this one!
“Loaded Dice” was the first track I finished for the album and probably best sums up the release as a whole. The intention was to make something wildly disorganized sounding but with a sense of fun. A happy bedlam. Roll the dice and see where it lands but it’s likely to end up on the same side more often than not. ~ Fragile X
The Man With The Plastic Brain is available on noci miste October 28, 2022. [Bandcamp]
