SCANNERFUNK
Wave of Light By Wave of Light (Sulfur Records)

Reviewed by Holly Day



Kind of cool trance techno stuff, not really the type of music you dance to but great for sinking into a sofa and letting your mind go blank to, with beats and riffs that repeat just enough times before being interrupted by odd voice/noise samples or rhythm changes that keep this from being far from tedious. Robin Rimbaud, aka Scanner, has written and performed soundtrack music for countless television programs, especially for the BBC, and is currently the Artist in Residence for BBC Radio 4's "Front Row" arts program. These instrumentals are incredibly cool and soothing to listen to, feeling, at times, as though the songs are hundreds of tracks deep, there's so much going on.
