Sounds Like: from www.boomkat.com........ "Sirconical has always been our favourite artist on the Twisted Nerve imprint, having been part of its originally bijou roster more or less from day one... His album has been in the making for at least a couple of years now, fusing his love of the thrumming folk and classic Hip Hop with an insatiable appetite for modern production techniques, electronics and complex rhythms, imbuing him with a sound that can veer from lazy, dusted breaks one moment to a hyperactive rhythmic attack Squarepusher would be proud of the next, while all the while harbouring an admiration for the kind of melodic transitions Plaid have imprinted on so many heads in the last decade...... "Waving At Planes" is a hugely charming and thoroughly disingenuous affair that takes shimmering blocks of electronic building material to construct deceptively simple compositions that range from the playful ('Joulouville') through to the epic ('Gone') and the downright unsettling ('Rose'). Closing with the John Stammers hook-up of 'Gioco' (a breathless break-led scramble), Mallinson has produced an album that is just a joy to listen to, a collage of styles and licks borrowed from the Black Dog at one end, via old skool hop hop and ending up at a heavenly soundtrack-heavy catharsis. Wonderful listening."
