Lego Feet – “Lego Feet” – [Skam]

Belladonna   2/6/2013   12-inch, A Library

Lego Feet is Sean Booth and Rob Brown of Autechre. This is a reissue that includes additional tracks not available on the original release. The original was released in ’91 in limited quantities as the mythical first release from Skam records, predates Autechre and is considered the holy grail of British electronic music, perhaps to those mainly interested in the IDM genre anyway.
This pretty much blows my mind. Nice acid-y, squelchy bleeps and blimps, beat-y bass. Glitchy, quirky moments and a nice analog-y synth sound that is classic early electronics. At times there is even a Cabaret Voltaire quality and early LFO. With its buzzy jams and bouncy acid house romps, not only is this the most “happy” release from these guys but also the most varied stylistically. Something for everyone!!
