Go to the Therodre & Hamblin website  Therodre & Hamblin - The Scientific Contrast [Moteer - 2007]

The Scientific Contrast is this pairs debut album that offers up 12 shots of charming,tuneful and retro electronicia, which brings to mind a more naive, less threatening, and  less sampled based version of Boards of Canada.

It’s all about child like melodies that purr and slide out of  analogue like electronics, with lazy half-awake beat patterns weaving around them. This is a soothing and warminly nostalgic soundworld, that seems to pop, buzz and whirl out one cheerful tune after another. It’s like blocky day-Glo early computers games or fading pictures of your best mates 10th birthday party. There is the odd drift into darker more cinematic waters here and there, but they seem to be no more  threatening  than  a dark cloudy spring mourning, pretty soon the artificial sunlight breaks through once more to warm your soul.

A nice and comfy album that you'll enjoy settling into again  and again. Sure it’s not got the most original sound and it wont change the world, but if you enjoying soothing and tuneful electronicia you cant go wrong with this.
