With the Discus label's head honcho Martin Archer on board, it's no surprise that Sheffield-based trio, Das Rad, display a fondness for prog and krautrock. Archer has been behind some decidedly quixotic ventures, including a couple of albums of Canterbury-flavoured madness by imaginary Japanese artist Masayo Asahara. Here, pieces like ‘Buzz Line’ conjure the motorick thrum of krautrockers Neu!, overlaid with fruity squelch bass and multi-tracked saxes stirring up a mysterious psychedelic swirl. In fact, with all three members doubling up on keyboards and electronics, each track is an exercise in accumulated textures, with less rhythmically-charged pieces like ‘Inside Reverse’ suggesting a kind of ambient rock seeded with Terry Riley's time-lag saxophone experiments or, on ‘Deuce of Gears,’ a fleeting visit from the ghost of Mike Ratledge's Lowrey organ. If the production sheen feels a little over-polished at times, the title track delivers a welcome dollop of grunge, with a slow, twanging post-rock growler, glowering like storm clouds on the horizon.
