Label: Infine Music
Released: late March/early April
It's difficult when you get sent an album that's a pleasant enough listen but ultimately leaves you cold. That's what Parisian producer Rone has come up with on 'Spanish Breakfast'.
It sounds like 'Spanners'-era Black Dog, but while that album is one of this blogger's favourites, a lot has happened in the (more than) decade since that came out. As such, while there's not much to criticise about its impeccably honed drum machines and lithe, economic electronic programming, it ultimately fails to engage on any emotional level or bring anything new to the creative table.
Admittedly, there are some out there who probably feel that electronica stopped being great when Warp's 'Artificial Intelligence' series finished in the mid-90s. This is perfect for them, but for the rest of us it's sure to sound nice but a little dated. 2/5
