Makam 'Blinded By The Exit Light' (Amulett)
Dutchman Makam enters a slightly leftfield landscape with this crunchy oddity. It trundles along with shakers and pumping kicks producing a purposeful momentum, as strange, warped effects bounce around in the cavernous interior. It’s solemn, languid and very enjoyable. The slower pace means all of the layers really hit home; the overall atmosphere is engrossing and will keep you holding on until the end.
