These 5 self produced tracks deserve the 'truely innovative new Manchester band award'. Taking the Krautrock blueprint left behind by pioneers Can and Neu WFANFC have combined a fondness for breakbeats, Akai samplers & huge basslines and produced a collection of songs that will have the music biz moguls literally falling at their feet by the end of the year. Opener 'Eighty-eight' sets the scene sounding like the kind of tune the late great Add N to X would be doing these days, spooky electronic vocals and driven by a pounding drum machine.

Elsewhere Arial and Vietnam use Death in Vegas / DJ Shadow beats and production to glorious effect. 'Asleep at the wheel' is a wall of sonic verve/spacemen 3 type guitars. Can't wait for the album.
