Review by rA Redeye (PS 08/83) by Redeye

Someone said I should get this disc because it was his favourite IDM disc of the year. I wouldn't go that far perhaps but this is a great disc.

The cover is of an Arizona landscape (the sub-title is 'Arizona tracks') as viewed through mescaline goggles perhaps or from a very fast car at dusk. This is one track, one which flows, bounces and moves through a series of dance-oriented moods often with an ambient vibe behind it. There is a lot going on here, voices like Timothy Leary's insert paranoid ramblings and noises and echoes permeate the overall fabric of the music. Pay attention to the bass here, shooting bass beats overlaid with bird songs making for a chatty mood setting the general pace for the disc in general. This opens up later into darker soundscapes that shift back again toward the end when it comes back together to the up-beat start of the music. Things don't evolve here, they change and the originality of Redeye makes it stand out, to my mind, in the FAX catalogue.

This disc will keep your attention if turned up or make for a pacey form of muzak. Finally, what *is* a Redeye?
