Dan White (aka Australian producer Rory McPike) makes a sturdy first appearance on Forbidden Planet here with some ambitious synth exercises that wonderfully channel the fertile times for hardware jams and boundary-less dance music in a flurry of arpeggios. “Death Flutes” leads the EP in the kind of sweeping coldwave melancholia that Steve Moore is so adept at, while “BA2 Fin” takes a more punchy approach thanks to a sizable squarewave bass throb, but there’s plenty of room for more fluttering melodics on top. “Agent Cooper” is the first foray into a rougher, stacked-out kind of techno as re-envisioned for a dystopian crowd, and “Human Hologram” drops some equally paranoid electro into the mix for a wonderfully retro-future finish to a sterling EP.
