Lesser spotted 12″ from Irdial discs founder (genius) Akin O. Fernandez and Ken Dutrieue under their only once utilised Kinkane alias on the more functional Irdial offshoot Co-Lette. ‘Fantasy’ spreads itself across the entire A-side – a journeying, sorta proggy (not dodgy though!) but dubb’d techno epic that weaves its way through 12 mins plus, propelled by a brittle kick / snare pairing that gradually erodes into something a bit scruffier. B-side’s better though, with the clenched-jaw tension of ‘Stand Aside’ and brief, fantasy-land interlude of ‘Daughn’. Although the last cut surely the best, set into that un-matched, topsy-turvy, esoteric Irdial style – a wonky, broken, rubbery IDM-ish? blurghhh dunno – it’s great though. In your hearts not the charts! (P.S / SOS! if anyone has a copy of Co-Lette 2, the Marchant Etrian EP – I really need to hear it, pls put me out of my misery!) (NM / NM).
