(2545) Tom Carruthers returns with a fresh drop on Syncrophone Records, comprising the fresh analogue jams ‘From Within’, ‘Zone’, ‘No Frequency’ and ‘Malfunction’. All hitting hard with an old-school, sequencer-happy flavour, one which requires no second-guessing, our faves here have to be the basal FM roller ‘Zone’ and the brash, trashyard B-fronter ‘No Frequency’, both of which make deft use of the same bassline, yet each to drastically different effec.
