Vessel - Order of Noise

Review by George Bass

The various elements miraculously align and find a rhythm, like a jigsaw puzzle with a hidden message on the reverse.»

vessel releases his debut lp 'order of noise' via tri angle records. using techno and house as a jumping off point vessel manages to twist these things into something unconventional and alien, often creating music that sounds as if it's rhythmically out of control when in fact it's all tightly controlled chaos. it's a testament to vessel's talent how he manages to rein all his ideas and sounds in with so much thoughtful precision. veering from the spaced out, futuristic dub sounds of 'stillborn dub', to the pulsating mystical ambience of 'aries', through to tracks like 'lache' and 'court of lions' which seem to invert the traditional notions of what a club track should be, 'order of noise' is an album saturated in ideas that manages to stand out as a wholly coherent statement of intent for the future.
