Beyond These Things Themroc

Having impressed the likes of Andrew Weatherall, Trevor Jackson, Pete Tong & FC Kahuna, Dan & Steve (both formerly of Agent Provocateur & Jon Carter's Monkey Mafia) now release their debut album. 'Beyond These Things' perfectly displays Themroc's highly evolved production style. 'Beyond These Things' presents a palette of sounds from icy electro routings, sparse studies built around breaks & bass, real songs with real singers to all manner of cerebral electronic atmospheres. 'Bloodline' is body rocking synthy groove tracks that could be Daft Punk jamming with Freeze. At the opposite end of the spectrum are downtempo dubscapes like 'All Looks The Same' & 'Killing & Falling'. Everywhere else is a sound that is to dance music's corporate-minded conservatism what Judge Jules is to free jazz. Ten tracks/Copy Controlled. EMI. 2003.
