"Luke Vibert's on a mission - and thankfully his latest incarnation as the Ace of Clubs has provided him a platform for his best material in quite some years. Party acid is the order of the day - and across the 15 tracks on offer here Vibert ups the ante with a return to the deliciously analogue productions that made his early work so peerless. "Cordial" opens the album with a bouncy shuffle that's not too dissimilar to the legendary Analord series, except with an added airiness to production that works a treat now the sun's decided to come out. By the time we reach "Heathrow Hardcore Terminal" the Ceephax templates are in full effect and your yanked head-first into a strobe-lit warehouse in some dodgy part of Essex for a flailing JACK session - top top stuff. "Benefist" is another highlight - tight drums and twilight arpegios are the order of the day - sort of like Kraftwerk mashed up by Aphex Twin, larging it up in some abandoned Cornwall field. Its nigh on impossible to find a duff track here - either Vibert has found his true form again or props should go out to the Firstcask imprint for their selection skills - either way this is a hugely enjoyable album, designed for peak-time party deployment or just for soundtracking any old Sunday killing time down the park - and its this kind of effortlessly enjoyable electronic music that seems to be so sorely missing these days. If you're after pure acid abandonment from a master producer - look no further." [source]
