squeezes off a volley of misshapen bangers and atonal wormholes in Music Without Discipline, making a mutant follow-up to his M Is A Shape (2015) LP and Crocodiles In The Ceiling (2016) EP for Alessio Natalizia (Not Waving) & Sam Willis’ Ecstatic label. For his 3rd solo LP proper as L/F/D/M - taking into account M Is A Shape and Under The Eyes of Augustus (2016) for Clan Destine - the London-based producer/artist/designer jams, layers and hacks a clutch of new hardware toys, the Akai VX90 and Yamaha TX81Z in particular, into 11 variants of what is essentially a style of no wave or new beta techno. Pursuing his taste for unique, visceral and affective electronic tones into odder integers of the club, L/F/D/M establishes a jagged line that runs from original ‘80s industrialists thru Larry Heard’s legendary Gherkin Jerks and the scenius of Downwards’ brummie radge packets to a place right between the eyes of 2017. DJs and dancers will find full fat, wonky weapons ranging from the cranky-assed jacker Dance, You Awful Cunt, thru to a sludgy turn called Birds, a super-tangy Chicago percolator Texan Flower Girl, and the throaty acid gargle of Living Without Gain. But it’s the way in which Richard Smith a.k.a. L/F/D/M is just as happy to follow his nose into sparkling vignettes such as After R Version and Ballet, and into the grubby pits of Pinx that really gives this record its shape and asserts its messed-up character. |

this is alright but only that. just alright. i think pinx is my favourite track, grubby is correct. in fact the whole thing reminds me of mr oizo - moustache only without the breathless cutups. i dunno, could be a grower |

It's nice bit that blurb sounds like a Nathan Barley script. What's neo beta techno? |

What jams my prostate about this, apart from that it sounds like absolute wank, is that it's £6.99. Ohhh, it's only 6 pounds and change. If you think "unique, visceral and affective electronic tones" are worth £7, just fucking say so. They're not, by the way, |

the blurb is probably about 75% piss take, like the descriptions at Boomkat. I like the raw feel of the stuff on this label, may not appeal to everyone, oh well. other releases I like and for more conventional tastes, |
