from Igloo Review online mag. maybe some peep in UK/Europe not familiar with it, buts its a huge review site for North Americans.

as follows,


Polska :: Skeptic (Make:Shift, CD)

Polska are extremely successful at marrying the dreamlike atmosphere of classic trip-hop to a jazzier version of the drum sounds that Squarepusher dropped all over Hard Normal Daddy and Music Is Rotten One Note. The best example of their technique is "Stu Tt Er," with its gorgeous vocal sample and drifting, hazy ambience. But this is a disc so loaded with greatness that there are no real highlights - it's all excellent. The title track is the next step in ambient-d'n'b - d'n'b tempos but completely chilled out. I don't know what they're putting in the water in Ireland, but I like that Polska is drinking it. Big thanks to Toronto's Makeshift Records for bringing this stateside. This is an early contender for album of the year.

Rewound Volume 4 features reviews from Experimedia, Symbolic Interaction, Make:Shift, Lagunamuch Community, Gomidnight, BlackBridge/Pangea Organics and Anticon.
the man deserves all the recognition in the world Xyxthumbs
hamen!

the squarepusher cite is promotionally clever, but polska goes beyond that (or differently from that, but no less deep). the uninitiated as well as the "hedz", in my experience, hv scryed over his mighty sound.

yeahey! Xyxthumbs
