BUGSKULL
Distracted Snowflake Volume Two (Scratch)

Reviewed by John Sekerka



For those not in possession of Volume One, welcome to the flaky aural fantasy world of Sean Byrne. This is a special, magical place where things go snap, crackle and plop, whilst our man Byrne sculpts an organic, electronic backdrop. Yes, machines can be warm and fuzzy, especially when tweaked with that friendly fifties sci-fi analogue approach. Dreamy loops and computer blips abound, and just when matters slip a little close to the pretentious edge, Byrne slips in a homey guitar strum and some very human vocals. Oh yes.
