>RDJCS5<, a new 4-track 12-inch EP by Solvent, is the result. This is Suction022. Each and every sound on this record came from RDJ’s old CS5, painstakingly programmed and multi-tracked by Solvent over the course of several months. The limited capabilities and sound palette of this humble little synth provided quite a challenge, but ultimately the results are not merely an exercise in technical synthnerdery, RDJCS5 speaks more of Solvents musical kinship to thee Analord. Opening track >Curtains< bears similarity to early Rephlex signing Bochum Welt, while >Radiator<, >Mould<, and >Tassels< each contain hallmarks of the classic AFX sound. At the same time, each track also sounds distinctly and unmistakably Solvent. The 12 inch vinyl edition is limited to 300 copies, in brown chipboard sleeve with sticker, and also contains an additional noise/drone piece at the end of side B. Entitled >Sandpaper<, this cut will be individually hand-etched by Solvent, for a 1-of-a-kind cut/click/loop experience.
