Infinite Scale - Automated Compositions
[Boltfish]

This is another exciting EP from inspiring electronica label Boltfish. Automated Compositions is the second EP by Infinite Scale, after his storming Sound Sensor release for Toytronic in 2005. Compositions is everything you'd expect from Boltfish, after their consistent run of high-grade releases, with Scale fitting in comfortably with the label's outstanding roster.

The four tracks offered are a mixed bag of styles, soaking in everything from ambient, hip-hop and electronica. Tracks like My Aquatic Life are classic Toytronic, taking on layers of crunchy beats and melodic synths. The Painted Audience meanwhile, is a beat-free and playful tune with bouncy synths that recall Back To Basics or the News From The Past EP by Gimmik.

The Wind Does Not Always Blow is a lush demonstration of dreamy ambience, with atmospheric synths and sweeping, stretched strings over Alias style hip-hop beats. The epic opener of Leaving For Another Day however, is where Infinite Scale truly excels, brandishing a hypnotic blend of deep bass and sprawling layers of built up rhythms.

A proud addition to a label which goes from strength to strength with each release, Automated Compositions is a dark and addictive collection of tracks that ranks as highly as any electronica veteran.
