"The first vinyl release by Scanner for some years, this record offers two tracks of contrasting moods. The tracks slip from elastic dub fused work and scattering beats into a warm, seductive groove lacing hard digital lockedgroove rhythms that edge under the floorboards of pixellated abstraction. A return to the classic sound of Lauwarm Instrumentals, side A's 'Spray' is an epic, 10-minute meditation showcasing Scanner's infallible ability to manipulate electronic drones and give them an eerie, captivating pulse. On the flipside, 'Lambertia' truly allows the maestro to flex his caustic capabilities, while winding your synapses and providing a gritty, yet seamless bridge between dub and modern-day electro. Bonus cut 'Bette' leads off the B-side--a reassuring techno piece driven by off-kilter pensive basslines and phase-blasted percussion. 'Bette' is signature Scanner: Ambient, odd, and driven upon subliminal composition."
