Our Rating:
Record-break attempt-maker and 22 year old Leicester musician Adham Fisher brings us this handclap-house tale of subterfuge of hidden post-Mother’s Day horror nightmare-spoof acid proportions.

Early spaceout sample tactics sit beside the central refrain, as the drama unfolds. Simply this: “It’s the day after Mother’s Day” - a phone call from a father to his son, explaining how his mother is upset by the lack of acknowledgement.

Simple, and brilliant. The answerfone message is fragmented and stutters over some nifty LSD warped early 1990’s scratchology, spaced out and tuned in, a smiling response to some deep brain fodder that’s in tune with the manifestations of a tripping mind.

This same father is further sampled in the accompanying tune ‘Nest Flight’. The nervous father’s apprehension swims with trepidation over the sea of ambience, and it’s like he’s talking to a life support machine, or a prison inmate. It’s classic footage, haunting over banjo loops. Is he filming a video to send across the sea, or is his wife the one in the coma?

Yes! It has the soap-operatic quality – addictive, but deeper, reaching into your heart. Sounding like an excerpt from the utterly stupendous KLF chillout album is no mean feat, but this has timely echoes across a few mixes, and is very strong.
