New compilation on the Inflatabl records label, featuring the three artists above. ' Feeling a little blue? Pick up that guitar and smash it into pieces baby. Electronic mayhem in 12-bar form, from Akufen, Freeform and The Rip Off Artist '

"What kind of blue" by The Rip Off artist pops and starts its way across the icy surface, with blurts of strummed guitar and spiralling whispers that melt together to form almost a country style melody, laced with 16bit undertones, whilst "Ain't gonne beg ya no more" by Akufen barrages you with hyper minimal pops and squeals all seeping out of a beaten up processor stumbling his way through the dark of night, accompanied by blues excerpts that bring it all to life.

"Blue tooth blues" from Freeform semi distorts a fine sounding blues guitar riff weaving it with sci fi elements and a rich atmosphere to create a heartwarming track. "Guitar Trouble" from Mr Rip Off himself bubbles up from the deep blue water in the petri dish and begins to jump and spurt itself all over the place, leaving springy zap remnants and bouncing game soundtrack tunes all over the shop, all iced over with a fudge like guitar riff, that works so well. Damn fine.
"Lazy boy blues" has you sitting in deep tennessee outside a bar made completely of light, with Akufen working on a laptop set for the regulars. The droids in the bar seem to be loving it as the blues essence is mixed in a huge red mercury cauldron with electronic tanglings and memory inducing samples, which have you leaning way back in your rocking chair. Smoooth stuff.

"Blue Too" hums and bumbles towards you, is it friend or foe, only Freeform can reveal the answer. Malfunctioning ladybirds scutter around in the dark air, as a calmly strummed guitar projects its audio from the mist over there on the stage. A big rotating flip skipping square of blended Bluexperimentalist audio.

'Blu Tribunl' sounds like it could be a strange release before you hear it, but Akufen, Freeform and The Rip Off artist have managed to pull it off. The blues essence does really work well woven in with experimental and electronic cotton, forming a big floating sphere of interest, to massage your brain in the early hours.
