After all the teasing from Sam in the Untidy Radio shows we finally have Fractal, and what an album 🙂 As much as I love Hard House, I am really into the slower deeper house sounds of Untidy these days, must be my age lol The only thing I miss on this album is Sams voice over ha ha. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you Sam 🙂

A thick slice of chunky funky beats effortlessly mixed together. An overall good solid well produced album.

Those of you old enough to remember the mid to late 80’s and the way the dance music scene exploded and then shattered into a thousand styles and genres will recall how magical it was to be able to turn on your radio at any time of the day or night and hear something truly original and unique.
New sounds, and ways of making them that had never been tried before, were heard everywhere and boundaries that had seemed fixed were breached and extended as new parameters in taste, style and ambition were set.
I miss those days, because I very rarely get excited by new music.
What I seem to hear is mostly derivative, or a pastiche, or just plain dull.
Until this week, that is, when Sam Townend’s new album ‘Fractal’ dropped through my letterbox.
It is, quite simply, a tour de force and a breath of fresh air that is long overdue.
It’s beautifully written, exquisitely restrained and produced with consummate skill and attention.
It has no slack, no pomp, no crying for attention with bells and whistles and no pandering to the lowest common denominator.
I can’t recommend it highly enough and I can’t get enough of it.
if you haven’t already done so you should buy it and hope, as I do, that it’s the start of a long overdue trend.
