Review: It's been four years since we've seen a Border Community album from the legendary Luke Abbot and following that split LP with James Holden and Camilo Tirado, the Norfolk bleep general followed Andrea Belfi in helping establish Float with Music From The Edge Of An Island. Taking off from that space, it follows in the footsteps of that 2019 long player in which he diverted from his known experimental style to explore a more compositional approach centred around the piano and VST instruments. Marking a return to his modular roots and woozy experimental style of blip and tonal electronica here, Abbot delivers Translate that's menacingly driving but punctuated with endearing flourishes of colour and wild sound design that's as introverted and futuristic as ever, and hoping to performed in a way that emulates the album's idiosyncratic 'speakerhenge' recording method. Luke Abbot awakens!

Review: Last year, Border Community heavyweights James Holden and Luke Abbott took part in a special performance to mark the 80th birthday of minimalist legend Terry Riley. Here, the extended pieces they performed that night are finally released. Holden's 46-minute piece - performed with tabla player Camilo Tirado, and created by writing a special sequencer for his modular synthesizer - is little less than an exotic, slowly evolving masterpiece, up there with the American composer's finest synthesizer works. Abbott's "555Hz", on the other hand, is an altogether deeper and more languid affair, but no less enthralling. Built around droning, drawn-out chords and subtle melodic shifts, it bubbles away attractively like the greatest intergalactic ambience.

Review: Returning to his home turf with a new album, Luke Abbott is following in his boss Holden's footsteps in turning his knack for outboard gear towards more experimental fare compared to the usual emotive bombast of his output. From the outset it's clear that Wysing Forest is a chance for Abbot to unchain his synths and get deep in the murk, and yet his winsome charm shines through on ranging opener "Amphis". "Unfurling" is more obtuse, half way out towards the kind of work Ekoplekz is known for, but there's still space for some heartfelt moments as on "Free Migration". Without the urgency of dancefloor mechanics behind him, it's a very revealing and honest portrait of Luke Abbott as an artist.
