Title: His most electronic sounding release yet
Review: Listeners who felt a little short-changed with Four Tet's previous releases due to their somewhat leisurely paced nature, should find "Everything Ecstatic" a refreshing album.Here we have a far more buoyant and assured release, with less of the "pling plong" found on Pause and Rounds. It sounds like Kieran Hebden was perhaps listening to a lot of Fluke or Advokat whilst making this record.Also, for the first time, it appears that he has done away with any clear "music style fusion" concept. Here, he toys with many styles, including jazz, funk, progressive rock, and, even acid house! Yep, there are 303's and 909's making their presence here.Standout tracks are "Sun Drums and Soil" and "And Then Patterns". Great stuff.
