  The Home Current - Not Our Kind Of Vertigo [PY85 UK 2021 24-Bit FLAC] More modular manipulation from the Polytechnic Youth label, the second album from The Home Current in a matter of months sold out very quickly when released a few weeks back. A grabbed a copy (of course) and despite the light noise from clear vinyl, it ripped really well. This album is inspired by a love of private pressing electronic LPs from the seventies. Not Our Kind Of Vertigo  represents eight immersive and up-tempo compositions - chilly yet absorbing, with icy synths and even cold dark waves stretched out over a range of sooth & seductive rhythms. The title track could well be the best new thing that you heard today.

  The Home Current - Cylinder Moses [LM 001V UK 2020 24-Bit FLAC] Luxembourg based Danish musician and DJ, Martin Jensen began life as The Home Current on the important Polytechnic Youth label. Cylinder Moses is his third vinyl album, released a few weeks back in a one-off pressing of 244. He draws influence from electronic no-wave bands like Ike Yard, eighties techno-house and synth pioneers New Order & Cabaret Voltaire. The a-side is more techno in feel whereas the better side two develops expansive soundscapes underpinned by electronic beats and squelchy loops. I have my reservations about digital waves being transferred to analogue grey vinyl, however the limited edition was enough to persuade me to splash the extra cash compared to the download version.
