I’ve always looked at Wighnomy-related 12”’s as experiments: certainly Robag’s work on Musik Krause has always been a mixed-bag, the much-loved Wuzzellbudd LP notwithstanding. This newest EP by the Sasha and Digweed of microhouse is no exception, featuring two non-musical interludes of no apparent consequence. It’s the three burners here, though, that make this worth a buy: “Pele Bloss” being the rightful A-side. It’s reminiscent in feel to the stunning “Wurz and Blosse,” but is easily the more banging of the two. The two B-sides pale in comparison, but offer up some nice surprises: “Nunca,” particularly, ends in a haze of uncharacteristic horns and piano.
