Review: One of the great things about Nicolas Chaix's long-running I:Cube project is you never quite know what to expect next. Whereas his last release, the wonderful Cryptoporticus, offered a pitched-down take on classic British bleep, this untitled EP is an altogether spookier, wide-ranging affair. For example, examine the contrast between the loose, intoxicating tribal rhythms, deep bass and marimba melodies of the decidedly druggy "Prepgav (Part 1)", and the quietly impressive, jazz-flecked ambience of "Prepgav (Part 2)". The variety doesn't stop there, either, with the remaining tracks variously touching on cinematic bliss (the touching "A Walk With You"), dystopian IDM ("Ou Ailleurs"), and becalmed analogue ambience (the brilliant "Sequence III"). Simply stunning from start to finish.
