Review: Flipping the polarity phase on your audio cables can work all sorts of creative wonders, be that to achieve or mitigate phase cancellation, craft strange dithery effects, or sum to mono.

But be warned, flipped phases can blow a fuse: the Munich via Rome artist may have regrounded himself on 'Roma', but 'Behaviours' and 'Rostov' still bristle with the arcing hum of unregulated elecrotechno voltage, reflecting the onward and upward movement of an artist gripped by potency, this being his sophomore 12" after his debut 'BAL'.
