Far - Flash Point (2016)

After a stupendous first run of releases over the last few years, the enigmatic FAR is back on the excellent Electric Deluxe label with something far more wide-reaching that we'd expected. That's not to say that his previous work was one-dimensional; far from it, but this album signifies a notable shift in the artist's skills and ideas. Flash Point is a work of subtlety and minute sonic experimentations, a daring album that spans different sounds and styles of ideas. From harsh drones, to subtle noise, hints of electro and even a fair bit of power electronics, FAR has made a grand new statement. Recommended.
