ALEX SHEAF, a key figure in the VANCOUVER/Montreal scene, is now attracting worldwide attention as a member of PACIFIC RHYTHM and NAFF, and under this name, his Jungle release on the LOBSTER THEREMIN label is impressive. Floating synth ambience and physical beat vibes envelop the entire work. The downtempo "C-Thru" (sample 2), with its deep effects and hypnotically colored vocals, is also a slow acid "U & Me" that is intoxicating. (Original Japanese text by Akie)
