Galdoors UK Vinyl & CDs

Review: Having delivered a stand out pair of EPs to Untilmyheartstops last year and moonlighted on Greta Cottage Workshop, Freerotation alumni Duckett lands on the ever adventurous Galdoors with a spellbinding collection of compositions that seek to send delicate synthesiser sequences into romantic, cosmic pastures. "No Relation To Me" shimmers with intricate layers of melody while "My Other Life On Earth Begins This Morning" works around off-kilter rhythmic configurations to create a hypnotic workout. The subtlety carries through to the B-side, where "Everything Works Backwards" pulls at the heartstrings before "But My Mind" settles into a woozy, uneasy funk.

Review: Junes delivers another trio of distinctive, whacked-out shufflers to Galdoors. First up it's Trails, stomping through glimmering, trippy textures with an emphatic groove. Shift State brings dubby delays and heavyweight bells that bounce back and forth over another potent rhythm to heady effect. Precipice makes use of a more menacing combo: clipped congas and swinging highs gang up with a bullish sub bass, before the icy pads grab hold - not for kids.

Review: On the back of an acclaimed LP on his own UMHS label, Freerotation resident Leif takes his woozy grooves and lush atmospherics for a trackier spin on Galdoors. "Macro Beat's" broken latin groove propels the A1 through layers of bubbling dub synths and twinkling atmospherics. "Moment Beat" shares the first track's club focus, but this time chimes unfurl over a low-slung groove that leaves things perfectly poised for a change in direction. On the B, "Tumbler"picks up the pace once more with highs and arpeggios that pulse and slide around each other restlessly, before "Untitled" wraps up with a beatless and beautiful flourish.
