Headhunter’s Nomad, taking cues from the mutated sonic vocabulary of minimal techno connoisseurs like Berlin’s Basic Channel, is altogether headier and more unreal. This is a futuristic, moody and vaguely menacing kind of dance music.
-
Nomad doesn’t particularly depart from the parameters that have already been set by the growing population of techstep tricksters, but it does serve as a concise document of dubstep’s travels to date.
-
Nomad doesn’t engage as immediately as the horde of rather overwhelmingly technical full-lengths bearing the same tag in 2008 does--the Bristol, UK artist’s work comes off repetitive in parts.
-
Nomad is ambient music for beatheads in need of a record to clear their minds to, or dance music for new age lovers.
-
The WireNomad is well-name--but what's most striking is not its diversity, but its coherence. [Dec 2008, p.73]
-
UncutHeadhunter's laboratory productions are probably just a bit too clinical to transcend their genre. [Jn 2008, p.96]
