Description
2021, 2×12″ LP, FireScope. Yellow on red sunburst colored vinyl.
Whether he’s making emotive futurist techno, Artificial Intelligence-era 1990s IDM or far-sighted electro, Derek Carr can do no wrong. If you don’t believe us – and, let’s face it, there’s plenty of evidence out there already – we’d suggest you check out Arrival, the long-serving producer’s first album for B12 member Steven Rutter’s Firescope label. Rooted in electro, the music on offer is as colourful, vibrant and emotion rich as you’d expect, with highlights including the lilting ‘Alaska Blue’, the deeper but more percussively punchy ‘Anoat System’, the Motor City sci-fi bliss of ‘Venus Impact’ and the intergalactic deepness of ‘Inside Out’. High quality electronic music with melody and soul… more please! – Juno
