The ever present and ever quality Boltfish records give us a new release by a new artist, please ladies and robots, welcome 'Complex Routine'.

"The end of a dream" sparkles a magical secret of tinkle tangle cubes down a transparent ramp into your perfectly clean garage, in some crazy attempt to increase the volume of the room, that loon. After the superb intro, the hazy beat comes into effect, dragging along with it, shards of photocopier dashed in glitter, test tubes,crushed and reformed and ground hugging clouds full to the brim with milk and strawberry mice, all just for a laugh. The secret door to a magical world, where only the clearest people can go, and a few robots.
This track is amazing stuff, truly astounding, hairs on the back of neck stuff, instant classic for me, a MUST hear.

Springs made of rubberised raindrops smile at you, with their external mouth areas almost a clear foot from their face, whilst you drive past in your bubblegum car, its all another day in the world of "Leave me with my song". The coded world, once inside a programmers fingertips, is free to grow and evolve, and you are the president, time to 'ave some fun. Massive gurgling blocks full of square circles, bound across the landscape in what seems to be a race towards a glowing archway high on a hill, as smaller metallic looking cylinders covered in laughing worms speed past, causing wave upon wave of hundreds and thousands to knock you off your feet as you laugh yourself to pieces.
Character rich excellence in cd form, I loves its.

"Delayed truth" opens itself up, very slowly and releases a snap hiss drumbeat into the air, accompanied by a zappy insect who flips and filters alongside the calm tuneful melody. Warping and expelling vision blurring liquid into the sky, this tiny chaos causing intruder takes complete control, filling your view with a rich tapestry of deconstructed light and sound, which after its initial onslaught, filters away to reveal that mesmorising melody once again. Some form of mind control im sure. Cool stuff

Complex Routine has created pure quality. Four tracks of adventure soundscapes, crammed to the brain with so much goodness and energy giving magic, that you cant not love it. "The end of a dream" is amazing enough to warrant the release itself.

Awesome stuff.
