Slam return after a long hiatus with an old-skool masterpiece that will either have you nodding along in blissful ecstasy or banging your head on the pause button in a futile attempt to make it 'sound a bit glitchy'.
I wasn't incredibly enthusiastic about Slam's new long player Human Responses, but No One Left To Follow is a great track that, had it not appeared as a single, would have made buying the long player compulsory for fans of atmospheric, down-tempo techno.
While my criticisms of the album as a fan-boy's love letter to 1996 still apply here - the track sounds like a glorious mash-up of middle period Orbital, Autechre and a wee dash of ambient-era Aphex Twin - I'm powerless before its excellence.
And anyway, maybe I'm being a bit harsh: we don't care if Interpol and Editors base their entire career on Joy Division, as long as they take the basic meme and do something with it. Don't get me started on The White Stripes tho'...
