Bleep

A little context - Pablo’s Eye was a loose collective of musicians, headed by the Brussels-based Axel Libeert, who initially operated throughout the late-80s and 90s. The band has been resurrected in the past couple of years, and to commemorate the Pablo’s Eye renaissance the excellent Stroom label have released a trio of compilations intended to showcase the choicest cuts from the first age of Pablo’s Eye. Here we have the third and final installment, Dark Matter. As with 2018 collections Bardo For Pablo and Spring Break, Dark Matter is another eerily beautiful set of tracks. Pablo’s Eye’s combination of new age, ambient, dub techno and Balearic house acts a precursor to so many of the current crop of left-of-centre electronic acts.
