Thought by Solvent to be the lost work of Aphex Twin, RX-101’s style is steeped in the sound of the 90s. Chipper melodies are countered by harsh percussion, sweet synthlines soured by acid bars and coarse claps. Six generous tracks make up this final 12″. Clipped beats give way to warbling chords as “Themis” harks back to a C64 8-bit innocence. In parts this latest collection feels like a response to Bochum Welt’s Module 2 album, metallic sounds being countered and softened by strings and analogue warmth. Other pieces, like “Saiph” and “Transmission,” are dead ringers for Mu-Ziq’s Bluff Limbo period, playful key changes and thick bass pushed into distortion. “The Quest for Ganymedes” closes this final outing. Delicate bars are interspersed by wet snares in a work filled with cheerful charm.
