Steve Bicknell - Lost Recordings 10

''the Lost and Cosmic founder has been putting out previous unheard material from his early '90s heyday on and off since 2004. There are few surprises on this 10th edition, but plenty of slamming, no-holds-barred grooves. The hissing, spacey, cymbal-heavy ''Track 3'' is particularly trippy, while there's a gnarled, ragged intensity about the pulsating heaviness of ''Track 1''. Arguably best of all, though - ambient interlude ''Track 2'' aside - is ''Track 4'', an eerie techno shuffler built around a wonky, off-key electric piano loop and fizzing percussion.''
