"Eleh use a battery of analogue oscillators to dig down into frequencies so low that they become their own obstacle; the technical difficulty of mastering and pressing them satisfactorily have delayed the release of Floating Frequencies/Intuitive Synthesis I.
Beautifully packaged and pressed in a limited run, this record could have been a Stereolab-style exercise in fetishisation and nostalgia. It's dedicated to La Monte Young, and the album's titles, instruments and methodologies hark back to the academic laboratory conditions of 1960's minimalism. But its forensic exploration of the limits of bass perception (and reproduction) has uncannily contemporary echoes. "In The Ear Of The Gods" drops immediately into a speaker threatening sub-bass stasis and stays there with immaculate purity, broken only by a raindrop of a kick-drum. When the unified bass tones finally shift fractionally, the resulting phasing has the kind of richly vertiginous wobble and warp that dubstep loves to play with. The subterranean ripples of tone and the glacial pace at which they unfold calls to mind Earth and Sunn O)))'s mute explorations of the dark dynamics of depth when extracted from rock's edges."
