No huge, bloated, over-conceptualised rottage for the monkey man. He gets in, does what he has to do, gets out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the opener, \"Noctuary,\" with it’s creepy stoned-Hammer feel, through the headnod sitar-funk of \"Flutter,\" on into the Rhodes-meets-Gamelan of \"D Song,\" the first third of the record sets out the tone for what is to follow – all beautfiully melodic and perfectly assembled but with enough of a creeping undertow to stop the music becoming empty or saccharine. \"Change Down\" is all double bass folk and cut-up drums, \"Wayward Bob\" is a devilish waltz, while single \"Pick Up\" is a straight funk ‘n’ flute throw down. \"Something For Windy\"sounds like a dub of a postman on his rounds, \"Nothing Owed\" is epic pastoralia, while \"Light Pattern\" rounds things off with what sounds like the theme to the best TV programme never made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith all instruments played, sampled and sequenced by Green’s own fair hand, there is a consistency here, both within the tunes and across the record that crate diggers can only dream of. There is real development, the building of moods and feelings, a genuine attempt to make great music which is incidentally computer music. He may make a monkey of himself, but he’s no musical mug…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- plug-seven-hike-2026-10-29:end --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eMedia: Mint (M)\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eSleeve: Mint (M)\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack List: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eA1.
