Glyphic

"Based in his native Northern Ireland, Boxcutter's interventions in the dubstep scene come from way outside its normal geographic borders of South London plus East London's Plastic People club. On 'Glyphic', you can feel how being free of those boundaries helps keep boxcutter outside the limitation's of the scenes conventions... 'Glyphic' is like a burst of strange light breaking into the empty spaces of the dubstep sound. The title track itself stretches the form out into a fascinating drift of Aphex Twin-style Ambient harmony and scraps of free sax, and "Windfall" picks up on this, with flute skittering over a massive dub bassline. The whole album could have been conceived as a straight finger to purists, with dubstep disappearing altogether as the set progresses. "Bloscid" has more in common with Aphex side project The Tuss, "Foxy" with Wookie's shuffling two-step, while "Rusty Break" drops some classically explosive jungl percussion. But what's most characteristic about 'Glyphic' is its dreamy recoding of dubstep's distinctly urban accents into a kind of near-pastoral, with Selected Ambient Works-style textures drifting through track after track."

...it's a meticulously maintained grab bag of electronic styles and dubwise flavours that bear favourable comparison with the likes of Amon Tobin and deserves to be taken just as seriously."
