Fresh from schooling us on the current state of the UK electro synth wave underground via the crucial second volume of Messages From the Void, local hero Ali Renault dons his Cestrian outfit once again for some equally momentous movements for the Future Flash imprint. Strictly limited is the name of the game here - only 200 twelves have been pressed up and there's added incentive for vinyl freaks in the shape of a heavy duty wax seal bearing the Future Flash logo which adorns the centre label. All this is secondary to the music however, and "Annihilator" surely ranks in the upper echelons of apt titles as Renault explodes into a frenzy of spazmoid analogue rhythms from the off. Spectral flourishes and bubbling textures keep it interesting and it all rides on top of a pummelling aqua techno groove. The aforementioned spectral elements are expanded on by Perseus Traxx on an eerie electro refix that displays all the producers' talent for eking every last drop of lysergia out of analogue machinery. Big tip!
