Future.Loop.Foundation.Memories.From.A.Fading.Room.2007.COMPLETE.PAL.MDVDR-H0TWhen it comes to packing emotion into electronic music it s easy to press the angry button or get horny horny horny horny. Nothing wrong with that as the punky-electro identI-hordes will breathe heavily into your ear. But not so many albums try and explore something deeper and more personal then come up with something that can only be described as beautiful. Future Loop Foundation is Mark Barrott and he s done just that by looking back to his childhood and constructing a series of poignant, haunting electronic reflections inspired by recordings of his family in the 70s. The memories have inspired a lovely soundscape which manages to be dreamy and melodic without slipping into soppiness. It also accompanies a 50 minute DVD film of Super8 footage of Mark s childhood. In some hands this could be cringe-inducing. Barrott exercises his trademark deftness and experience gained from his previous four albums to deliver a stunning piece of work which could actually make you well up if you have any warm feelings towards your own growing up. There s also an EP which sees tracks sensitively reworked by Rob Da Bank and Chris Coco, Hiem and Beauty School. --Kris Needs - Update 5 StarsYear: 2007
