***The Doubtful Guest's debut album ushers in a new era of acid. Gone are the electro party jams, gone is the funky squiggle. This dark, suffocating stuff is full of nightmares and claustrophobic details that send shivers up one's spine. References include Coil, Marc Acardipane, Scott Brown, and Neophyte. Not afraid to show her classical upbringing (she trained as an opera singer) and jazz heritage (granddaughter of J.B. Floyd), Libby Floyd infuses the rave sound with doom and dread. Inducing panic on the dancefloor, cuts like the eleven-minute "Slaves" build into writhing acid anthems that ebb and flow like some viscous substance in your mind. If you thought the Planet Mu offices were exclusively awash with testosterone, then The Doubtful Guest is here to subvert your notions, as Libby Floyd rattles into town on a train of electronic giddiness that will have you reaching for the vodka and Anadin.... Not quite as frenetic as you might expect, The Doubtful Guest is riddled with electronic potholes that jar the ears in a manner that is wholly welcome. --Boomkat 30-second MP3 excerpts: Slaves
