Review:
Perhaps fed up with being typecast as a maker of shiny, soft focus Balearica and nu-disco, Max Essa has taken the bold step to launch a new side project. Unlimited Man, his first full-length under the Jan Ken Po guise, clearly wanders further towards the dancefloor than some of his previous output, but his trademarks - those bright pianos, that hint of disco dubbiness and those swooshy synths - remain. There's admittedly a little more grit to tracks like "Civilised Gangbang" and "Palm Beach Boy Trees", and "Horny Diplomat" has a lovely cosmic disco feel, but really it's business as usual. If you enjoy Essa's productions, that's a very good thing indeed.
