So, six years down the line from 'Apples & Synthesizers' Solvent presents another beautifully built album of creamy synthpop and warm robot music for Ghostly International. Lead single 'Loss For Words' affirmed that he was back on form and the rest of the LP doesn't disappoint. 'Formulate' toys with camp Hi-Nrg bassline and vocoders and 'Don't Forget To Phone' continues a long running comms theme with bendy triplet rhythms and shuddering vocals. 'Panoramic' contains the lushest synthlines, which is surely the reason you check this guy anyway, and finally the redux of 'Formulate' gives it a queer slow spin reminding of a darker Junior Boys. Lovely stuff.1 Elevator Up (Intro) 2 Loss For Words 3 Formulate 4 A Product Of The Process 5 Unknown Caller 6 Don't Forget To Phone 7 No One Should Be Living Here 8 Life-Size Image 9 Take Me Home 10 Caught A Glimpse 11 Panoramic
