KONE - Solip Cystic Mystic

I don't know if any of you is familiar with Phil Western, who's been around since the early 90's. Member of Download and Plateau with cEvin Key. Also active in solo. This is Kone's third album, his old-school, acid, techno, house, psychedelic project. It just got released some time ago. Big user of 303 and many other classic gear.

While we're at it, even if you don't like this one, I strongly suggest you should try the two other Kone albums, which I'm sure some of you will really enjoy…

Cirrhotic Psychotic (2008):

On Daddy's Farm (2008):

Since there are many old-school idm techno heads in here, the compilation of his earlier EPS (1991-1996) that he re-released in 2012 is a classic as far as I'm concerned:

Regarding the list of solo albums under his own name, my personal fave is 4AM (2007). You will find some of his best techno tracks on there, some more IDMish, some of other sorts as well. Cool album:

For the gear enthusiasts: Phil Western giving a tour of the famous Subcon studio owned by cEvin Key.

New EP released by Phil, DECADES. Very technoish and full of undoubtedly Westernian melodies.
