I:Cube has made a new album. It is a very \u201chands on\u201d album, as the eight tracks on show were created almost entirely by improvising with electronic hardware \u2013 synthesizers, sequencers, drum machines and effects units \u2013 and recorded in real time, with very little after-editing. It is also his first album in a decade, should you be keeping track.<\/p>\n
During the time he spent recording it, which was in part inspired by the processes behind his \u2018Cubo Live Sessions\u2019 series, I:Cube had fun, experimented, unleashed the raw, primitive energy of his machines, and emptied his head of thought. The resultant tracks are instinctive, immersive and otherworldly, driven by the emotion of the moment rather than the formulaic structures of dance music. They are unpolished and immediate, but also immersive and sincere.<\/p>\n
Think of it as a soundtrack to time spent alone in the studio, daydreaming in darkness and light, translating mental and physical messages in real time. It is not calculated, overblown or over-produced like much modern electronic music, but gently odd, engaging and pleasingly rough round the edges. In some ways, it is I:Cube\u2019s most personal and emotional album to date.
