Rocketnumbernine reprise their trio with Four Tet on a fine pair of sprawling electronic-jazz fusions recorded and mixed by Sam Shepard aka Floating Points. In 'Roseland' brothers Ben (keys) and Tom Page (drums) meld brushed percussion and trickling keys against a sparse backdrop of dubbed out electronics with a languid, lilting Afro-beat appeal. By contrast, the urging bass refrain and cyclic, motorik drums set a more insistent backing to the dense electronics and repetitive keys of 'Metropolis', which, thanks to Sam Shepard's subtle filtering, ebbs and flows with an almost dancefloor-ready appeal.
