Fanu “The Circle of Sycamore Trees” (Warm Communications) [WARM010]

Fanu A dense and rewarding keeper with three tracks custom made for this 12″. Fanu’s Drum & Bass is indulgently somber and self-consciously epic (as are his song titles) but he’s good at what he does- in his own words: “emotion, imagination, atmosphere.” “The Circle” spotlights punishing drum work against the reverberating backdrop of an untamed forest with secrets. Turn over for a double-header admirably cut at 45rpm. “Footsteps Concealed” is upbeat with a battery of crisp drumming, followed by the beautiful downtempo coda of “The Face of the Man Who Killed You.”
