Keef Baker has a long state of duty as musician in which he focusses on electronic music since the 90’s, inspired by bands such as Test Dept., Skinny Puppy and Autechre. His music is best described as a crossbreed of ambient. idm and breakcore to which the sound has come into existence on intuition rather than mathematic precision. His previous cd was released by Ad Noiseam and his current album is now 2.5 years later released by Hymen. Melancholic ambient and idm go well together with clashing beats and explosive breakcore patterns which makes you indeed think of the late Autechre, but also of Venetian Snares or even Somatic Responses. Beautiful melodies and distortion. You will also hear fragments of commodore 64 sounds and jazz, metal, classical music and dub rise to the surface in the sound on Redeye. He makes use of acoustic instruments which gives the music and sound on this album more depth. This doesn’t sound forced anywhere and does not get on your nerves either, but in the long run the richness in influences and ideas gets a bit exhausting to listen to. It is best to totally absorb the music when you feel fit and are not too tired yourself, or to play this while you’re busy doing other things. A well made album it is though, this Keef Baker album, and it is one you have to let grow on you. Give it some time and you’ll surely be rewarded.
