Review: Russian producer Vlad Kurdyavtsev started his career in the mid 2000s, releasing curious electronica albums on a variety of digital-only labels. He's now graduated to Cologne-based imprint Ki, and here delivers his most accomplished set to date. Like his previous releases, it delivers a set of tracks that are devilishly hard to pigeonhole. There are forays into bright electronica, crystalline IDM, snow-flecked deep house and the kind of garage-influenced experiments usually associated with Sepalcure, Boxcutter and Hyetal. While the nine tracks that make up Saints perhaps lack a little of the punch associated with those acts, there's no denying that it's a gorgeous listen.
