Bleep

Anyone familiar with 51717’s previous releases on Opal Tapes, Jealous God, Gel and Total Black will have braced themselves for Paranoia Star, but if you’re unaccustomed then we suggest that you strap yourself in. Paranoia Star is a collection of haunting, sometimes eviscerating electronics. Tracks like ‘Kvevri’ and ‘Gamboge’ are eerie compositions that draw on everyone from Muslimgauze to Yves Tumor. When 51717 decides to let rip (‘Exile’, ‘3417’) the air is of an Arabesque rendering of Silent Servant.
