One of four clickclickdrone release reviews coming spread over issues #19 and #20 of Tesselate. This the fourth release from this new but intriguing label, definetly worth checking out. One half of Colamn is Lawrence Grover (label owner) who also has a release under the guise of 'Boc scadet' (click01) also on the same label, and also a track on the forthcoming Toytronic compilation.

"El kuhc4" instantly fills whatever space you are sitting in, with a piercing tone and repeating jingle melody, almost like a small wafer thin manmade butterfly on its first solo mission. All this beauty is then joined by a rich thudding bassline, sounding like missiles raining down from above, which is then pushed into check by a snare like drum, which stutters and cracks around once in a while. Character creating soundtracks for the button pressing people out there. "Turt other" takes more of an exploration style ticket in its hands and runs off into the piercing moonlight laughing crazily. Pipping laser strikes are bouncing around like its someones birthday, as a small portable computer sings his happy song on a rocky outcrop by the lake. Pounce pop and click along to this one, its the panic music to the last level on Pacland (well I think it would do well there). Recommended.

"Saerv" flips it to the other side and takes you on a trip to wafer land. With every step you force a layer into the liquid powercells below, thus giving off a starshaped ring that gives off a smooth melody, just so you know whats going on. Cascading beats and attention catching alarms in the shape of a heartwarming firebomb explode in a calculated pattern, which luckily doesnt burn, and releases a whirlwind of science fiction beats into the air, for you to love and enjoy. I love this track. "Senn rel (blurred girl mix)" takes it down to the parched hillside on a smooth summers say, where its not that hot, so you can chill it right out. One of those tracks where its best to relax those eyelids, and let the music take you into the mysterious world of Colamn AND THE MONSTEROUS DROIDS OF METLEXIAN!!, na only joking.

'Ep one' is a lesson in 'the good shit', technical melodies, with diamond shattering production, you cant go wrong. Clickclickdrone are now classed as a 'quality label ' in my books, four releases in, with each one having grabbed a lot of peoples attention, I can see big things coming out of this kent based label. So keep your eyes and ears peeled.

Highly recommended.
