Jon Gaiser – one of techno’s most promising electronic marauders – follows last year’s ‘And Answer’ EP with four new corkers. Gaiser’s main strength is that he starts from the bottom and works up [missus], paying as much attention to intricate internal plumbing on the subtly motoring beats and basslines as he does the lustrous gauzes of hums, drones and haunting riffs which sprout and climb the wall as the tracks progress. The loping ‘Neural Block’ is typically bare and bleeped before the tougher ‘Half Life’ starts stoking a simmering tension which by the closing ‘Separation’ has turned deeply dark and desolate. Something truly new and brain-tingling afoot here.
