Go Plastic shatters breakbeat into jagged, jazz-schooled bass runs and reassembles it at inhuman speed and precision, pushing drill'n'bass to a peak of controlled violence that still sounds technically impossible on inspection. Live-bass virtuosity and digital rhythm editing become the same attack. 'My Red Hot Car' is the one everybody knows and 'Tommib' is eighty seconds of quiet that the rest of it needs. The player and the machine are almost impossible to separate.
№ 12 on The 10 Best IDM Albums
My Red Hot Car and drill and bass played as free jazz. The technical ceiling for the entire style.
