operator

Operator features in Dazed and Confused magazine with the Edinburgh crew... sort of.
Reviews
"Exemption Song" from operator, an innocent, harmonious House Song with an affectionate charm. A Beautiful, inspired EP.
Groove Deutschland
"New Wave House electro shit. Insane Old skool meltings. Radiophonic !"
Toolbox Records
"On a Quirky and playful tip although still retains a certain warmth and musicality.
Think early Kitty Yo meets Toytronic meets, maybe Static Caravan.
A must fot fans of the label."

"Moments of true originality...
watch this space"
Andy Richardson, The List
"From quiet & clean to loud & hectic. one of the best benbecula releases to date."
electronix network (Italy)
"This is the sound of electicism, vieing for your attention.
I've seen him do it live and it's quite an experience sonically speaking.
Operator is definitely one to watch, and more importantly listen to!"
Vic Galloway, BBC Radio One
"Operator's unique production techniques
reveal themselves to be most eclectic
and contemporary.
You could be in Keith
Whitman / Fennesz guitar processing
territory. Individual and different,
enter the
world of Operator for a while, you should
find something you like."

"There's no easy way to entertain a room full of people when you're just one man twiddling a few pots on stage,
but Lewis MacColl - AKA Operator - manages it by taking Route One and hitting us with some great music...
it's nice to hear he's also pretty damn talented."
David Pollock, 4/5, The List
"Operator combines the most eclectic and
contemporary aspects of new electronic music
and manages to be both muso and funky at the
same time.
He builds his set into a fluid house break then
lets it crumble into fuzzy, popping analogue
noise
before repeating the trick again."
John Kelly, The Daily Record, Feb 2004
"Os1.1 (by operator) is a very cool operating system, I want it on this pc now.
Its all good, what more do I have to say. Very recommended."
tesselate
"This is interesting stuff... most pleasant."

"Taking the usual structure of beat and sample
based experimental music
to different places
... recommended"
Dan Shirai, pitchadjust
"Tisch by operator from os1.1. More good experimental electronic tracks from Scotland. This track balances some noisier IDM explorations on a bed of pure 80's electro, with a bouncy melody and a solid clap holding together a nice 808 beat that's clumsy in a calculated kind of way. For some reason, the thing that keeps coming to my mind on this one is if Aphex Twin remixed "Genius of Love" - but maybe not."
"Track of the Day" @ Dream Chimney

A review in French of "Alba Absurdia". Could be bad, could be good, I have no idea.
Same goes for this one which is in Polish... I think? Answers on a post-techno-card to "Blu Peter".
