Review

Darren Cunningham has grand plans for AZD, his latest album. He wants to develop a live performance of the long player that will morph into "the first translucent, non-soluble communication sound pill synergised through impressionistic interpretations of technological equipment". In the meantime, his listeners are presented with a dizzying array of experimental techno. Opening with the pointillist blips of "Nimbus" and the stepping Terrence Dixon-esque techno of "Untitled 7" and "Blue Window", the album moves from the understated into the grainy house grooves of "Fantasynth" and "Runner"- which sound like Detroit's MGUN. Cunningham is, like this US fellow peer, a restless creative mind, and AZD then shifts into the bassy "Cyn", before moving back to techno with the grainy loops of "X22rme". It might not yet have evolved into the communication sound pill that its author envisaged, but AZD is more advanced than most techno albums.
