Better known as Volum and as one half of angry robots Volsoc (his musical partnership with Justin Maxwell), Jean-Paul Bondy's output to date has often been categorised as electro, but not as we know it, Jim. Since the early 90s Bondy has been bringing us his vision of a cartoon future of blips, bleeps, squeaks and tweaks, all fed through your speakers and straight into your brain by a rhythmic salvo of breakbeats, bass, and straight-up, glitched-up funk. Bondy's first solo album, The Path of Most Resistors marks the culmination of this effort to date, while at the same time representing a subtle departure - not just for Bondy, but for Compost too. Make no mistake; this is a record that is grounded in the kind of solid, machine funk grooves, synthetic melodies and sci-fi atmospheres that the best electro has always brought us. But as Bondy appears to have asked, why stop there?A1 Something Is Not Right (5:54) A2 Cold Reformer (4:26) B1 Xeno Persuasion (6:01) B2 Dry Humper (4:46) C1 Prompted Some Observers (5:44) C2 L.A Is Burning (5:26) D1 Ear Worms (5:30) D2 Delia's Temptation (5:51)
