Sounds Like: "James Yates is a phenomenon. Surrounded by a makeshift console of samplers, keyboards, percussion and drums, he constructs intricate minimal ambient confections of glockenspiel, synth and rhythm one bar at a time - watching him is like looking at the musical equivalent of Rolf Harris - phrases look and sound incongruous until the last piece is in place, then... bliss. Genius deconstruction, masterful execution and utterly gutting as he and the rest of Pattern Theory are buggering off to Berlin." - Sandman Magazine
Type of Label: Unsigned
