| ***Cyclical is the debut full-length from iTAL tEK, a.k.a. Alan Myson of Brighton. After massive 12-inch releases on Planet Mu and SQR last year, the man returns with an album's worth of moody yet beautiful dubstep with swooning chords underpinned by a techy undercarriage. "[Bloodline] is the perfect introduction to his 'darker' sound, and as the rest of the scene moves into a more 4/4 direction, we see iTAL tEK taking things into the basement and adding a sizable chunk of noise into his productions. It reminds me of when the whole Renegade Hardware sound took hold of drum 'n' bass, and that's no bad thing--there's always space for growling distortion and a bad attitude in my mind. I guess Vex'd and more recently Cloaks have approached this sound, but iTAL tEK brings enough variation to make this 12-inch stand out, and far from merely exploring a bit these tracks have some serious bass weight. You know what to do-- bring the darkness!" --Boomkat 30-second MP3 excerpts: Cyclical Pins White Mark Bloodline Tokyo Freeze (Remix) Still Shores Versus Red Sky Insomniac Wind Tunnel Deep Pools If you have a recent version of iTunes software on your computer, clicking on the link immediately below should open the iTunes application and take you to that album's iTunes page-- where you can listen to samples and buy this album, or individual tracks: Go to iTunes to browse downloads for iTAL tEK "Cyclical" If you have a subscription account at emusic.com, you can download tracks for purchase here.
