Now this is a little bit special isn't it - what do you get if you take Brian Eno, Roger Eno, Andrew McKenzie (Hafler Trio), Carter Burwell (Fargo OST, Being John Malkovich OST) and have them collaborate with a trio of insanely talented chanteuses? Fovea Hex gives us the answer to this and provides us with what Brian Eno has described as "Some of the most extraordinary songs I've heard in years". As I flicked through 'Bloom' to review initially I wasn't sure what to make of it - fragmented vocals and very subtley affecting ambience. Returning to it and playing it from beginning to end was when I had my revelation; this record is as gorgeous as any of Burwell's stunning soundtrack work, as sentimental and romantic as Eno's very best and polished off expertly by the experimental flourishes of avant garde mad-scientist McKenzie. This deluxe package (part one of an ongoing series) comes in a lovely embossed gatefold style package and just feels like something that little bit exclusive (isn't that what we're all after?). If you enjoyed recent releases this year by Amina, Midaircondo and even Bjork's more experimental moments then check this without delay.
