its called Isares on Static "Isares: is the title of Manual's third album. Another uplifting classic,
this is warm raw swirling electronica. Minimal at times but with the
swathing surrealism of My Bloody Valentine or the intense lethargy of Talk
Talk. A fusion of icy beats with the sheer beauty of Slowdive's
effects-pedal swoon and roots stretching out to the clean water pool of a
late 80's David Sylvian. Four tracks that ache and sigh in all the necessary
places. From the minute clicks 'n' brightly coloured building blocks of the
title-track to the dreamy washes of closer horizon. Fragile, strenuous, lush
and etiolated more in common with the Cocteau Twins or an economical Bill
Nelson than the Boards Of Canada. "
