TRICKFINGER 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: Former Red Hot Chilli Peppers guitarist John Frusciante has enjoyed an eclectic career since leaving the band, moving between solo albums that touch on lo-fi rock, psychedelia, synth pop and, bizarrely, drum and bass, and production stints for hip-hop acts, and, weirdly, Duran Duran. Here he changes tack again, donning the Trickfinger alias to deliver an enjoyably melodious, no-nonsense set of electro, acid house and techno tracks for the Acid Test series from Absurd. There's not a guitar in sight, but plenty of ragged 303 motifs, punchy drum machine rhythms, tuneful synthesizer refrains and barely disguised tributes to vintage Reflex Records jams. Highlights are plentiful, with the skittish, early Aphex Twin style madness of "Sain" standing out.
