Electronic Desert -

" The Japanese themed "Taito-Ku EP" is Cheju's latest Boltfish release (Jul
2005) and it's a gem! Cheju starts off with "Pachinko" and the excellent sounds
and gentle crisp beats it contains. "Flipchart Psychology" which is reminiscent
of something that would fit an updated soundtrack of a Miami Vice TV episode,
sound wise that is, follows "Pachinko". The third track "Bellflowerroot" with
an excellent bassline is a clear favourite among the four tracks contained on
this EP. The intro of heavily treated bells and the string-like bassline fused
with clever yet straightforward-programmed beats works like a charm. The fourth
and last track is entitled "Cloud garden" it got a dramatic intro leading onto
deep bass frequencies combined with glitch moderately used. It's lovely sonic
imagery created by the ever so talented artist named: Cheju."

"... again
its just sublime sounds. 'Pachinko' with far
Eastern flavours and dramatic tones stretches
out before your ears with stunning simplicity. 'Flipchart
Psychology' is more industrial than the first
track, with electro-filtered keys and tweeting
bleeps mysteriously forming an Eastern mood. 'Bellflowerroot'
opens with a real sense of moodiness. Dramatic
chords and crackling touches build the sound
into something hypnotic, before keys arrive and
transport you to distant worlds. 'Cloud Garden'
continues the quality, with more beautiful sounds
and dreamy touches to enjoy."
