Cylob - Formant Potaton

While I'm still listening thru it as we speak, my first impression is it's a good album. It's unmistakeably Cylob using all those signature dry FM synth type melodies and a development of the vocoder voice effects he's been using a lot on recent releases. Some people criticished the Trojan Style Fade for lack of melody, that was such a bollocks statement when this release proves he's arguably one of the more melodies electronic music technicians around. OK, some of the sounds are purposely 'de-tuned' but it's melody never the less. Formant Potation is of a slower pace compared to other releases so this is an album to ponder while you work, rest orplay. Standout tracks: "How Will I Die" (although it has a main melody that you have heeard once before on Trojan Style Fader), "I Want To See You Naked", "Be My Waveguide" which he used on that ace video he made called "Spring": http://www.mediafire.com/?bhdihmlvmys

Great release to add to any self-respecting Cytlob fan's collection.

Cylob is the king of British electronic music at its melodious best.

support the man, hes self releasing this stuff. if there was any time to buy an album its a situation where the artist gets most of the money (now = cylob)

just buy it ALLL

Buy it. Lets hope Cylob can keep releasing albums of this quality every couple of months for years. Reminds me of Snivilisation, but thats probably just me.

Snivialisation? It's nothign tlike it.

yeah, buy it! it's well worth the £6.99....

Come on people. Dig deep. Support Cylob. Hee needs the help.

I kinda lost faith in him after Mood Bells, but will check this out. How is the Music System 12's and Spider Report btw?

music system 1 & 2 are my favorite LPs by him besides Lobster tracks. Excellent neo 80s electronic music glitch madness.

that paper piano track on formant potaton has great melodies, very catchy.

too bad i cant get a physical copy of it, i'm not sure if i should buy it str8 away from bleep or wait for the flac ?
