Right out of the gates, 8 Track Cartridge hits hard with "Acid Jazz," a track that, with its bubbling acid lines and relentless drum assault, is anything but. The squelch comes out again on "Bubbles," but Bhamra keeps it in the background, tracing out the same path over and over. "Innervisions" and "Vibrations" offer up different takes on vintage deep house, the former warm and world-weary, the latter a disco-inspired beast dense with hand percussion and almost giddy with momentum.
Even with all its nods to the Midwest, it's clear Bhamra is a Brit through-and-through. "We Have To Live In The Future" is a well-oiled breaks machine that channels the energy of early UK rave. "Roots" is a history lesson of sorts, imitating breakbeat hardcore for its first five minutes before launching into full-on jungle wizardry as it contorts an amen break (a sound revisited in the more reflective closer "Time Loops").
