Holden: The Inheritors – review

Typical: you wait six years to put out an album, then Boards of Canada (to whom your debut, The Idiots Are Winning, was compared favourably ) overshadow it. Label boss, DJ, remixer and builder of "hybrid analogue-digital machines" James Holden has never actually sounded like BOC, but this time around he shares their penchant for analogue gear and mantric, pagan repetition. At its finest – on the six-plus minute Gone Feral, say – this is unsteadily arpeggiating not-quite-club music, a bit Four Tet, a bit Steve Reich, and even a bit Heath Robinson.
