EX-T – Paraworld

Review: EX-T - Paraworld In the early '90s, as the rave fever-dream gripped Europe, people started writing lullabies to soothe it. Adam Feingold's latest EP as Ex-Terrestrial echoes this counter-movement, falling somewhere between the proto-IDM of Warp's Artificial Intelligence comps and the then-burgeoning chillout sound. This music styled itself as sophisticated, but its simplicity by modern standards often makes it all the more charming. Feingold, who has celebrated a different kind of ugliness on a redlining house EP for Apron, captures this contradiction. The occasional rough edges make his radiant tracks all the more beautiful.
