[COMBAT 24] :: Point B : Suicide Beauty Spot (album)
Operative :: Point B
release :: autumn 2009
format :: CD / download
(Click on track to listen)
Autumn 2009 sees Brixton’s foremost melodic electronic artist Point B releasing a full length artist album on Combat.
Fans of his electronic peers such as Kelpe, Boards of Canada, Burial, Autechre and Tipper will find this potent brew infused with reflection and bittersweet calm. Maintaining his characteristic playful sense of melody and effortlessly flitting between genres, Suicide Beauty Spot is a brooding, contemplative and dark work of beauty and is Point B’s first full-length album on Combat Recordings.
Themed around a calm, beautiful, natural contemplative place where people go to deliberately end their lives, the vibe is profoundly deep, and wanders across dubstep, 2 step garage, bleepy electronics and hip hop tempos. The sound of circuitry soaked in warm human emotion, at times it veers almost into Boards of Canada / Burial territory, but always stays within the crisp, bleepy realms of his own sound.
Whilst embracing the urban rhythms (dubstep, hip-hop, 2 step) so familiar on his 12” vinyl releases, this long player embraces some lovely live instrumentation in which the likes of his santoor, Irish harp, dulcimer and marimba animate the bass-heavy soundscapes.

SCANONE – Sub Prime / Minotaur
YELLOW MACHINES
12″ // £5.49
DUBSTEP / GRIME / FUNKY
Released: Jul 2009
Catalogue Number: YM003
Yellow Machines present two tracks of heavyweight sci-fi electro-step from Scanone. A-side track ‘Sub Prime’ delves into post-garage/dubstep slanted rhythms with epic atmospheric constructions for fans of the Seed label’s purist hybrids, matching current riddim fixations with electronica ambitions. On the flipside ‘Minotaur’ lurches under the weight of halfstepped patterns with a properly dystopian synth soundtrack, sounding like early Claro Inte… READ MORE ABOUT: SCANONE, Sub Prime / Minotaur, YELLOW MACHINES
