Cursor Miner Thismansadventure

Finally on general digital release, Cursor Miner's debut 12" EP from earlier in the noughties.... "There's a schizophrenic melange of styles on these six tracks from London based musician Robert Tubb. The title cut serves up impossibly bombastic, jittery breaks straight from the Aphex/Squarepusher school of hyperactive beats, cut up with a host of samples culled from TV and who knows where else.... a slew of warped FX and bits and pieces playfully wielded together in an anything-goes manner reminiscent of Spymania releases. 'virus' is twisted, humourous stomping pop, mashing 80's synth lines over industrial snares and shouty new wave vocals with melodic suss and infectious energy. 'popmusic' does the click thing at high speed before settling into an insanely distorted groove that will have you checking your needle for fluff." (The Wire) "This EP is out there, funky, but with a sly grin on it's wee radge face. Care in the community never sounded so good." (Andrew Weatherall) "Boy, what a find! Six incredibly inventive cuts ranging in style from abstract noise explorations to sample manipulations, quirky pop and even twisted Sid Barrett style prog rock! The common thread throughout is the combination of the perverse and the catchy. For me this is definitely the most inventive release of the year - extremely captivating and simply a delight to listen to." (Overload Media)
