Faustiandan Albums of 2014 - No.5

Francis Harris – minutes of sleep

Having a taste for microhouse and minimal techno, I always like to grab a couple of records in these genres each year. What I didn’t expect with this release was the emphasis on live instrumentation. This is still DJ production designed for the bedroom instead of the dance floor, but it stands out because of its Jazz sensibilities. It’s like a jazz band has been submerged under an ocean of distortion and intermingled with distant, deep beats and drones. Certainly rewarding for the patient listener.
