Four Tet : Everything Ecstatic

From his critically-acclaimed, yet timid debut as a side solo project from avant-rock outfit Fridge to his last album ranking as one of the seminal electronic records of this decade, Four Tet has become one of the most recognised names around, reaching far beyond the usual realms of electronic music. In just three albums, he has defined his own recognisable sound, rooted in psychedelic rock, spiritual jazz and contemporary dance music, and spurted hordes of followers. Everything Ecstatic is in many ways a very different record from its predecessors. Right from its title to the bright colours adorning its front cover and the music featured, this fourth album radiates with joy and enthusiasm. Domino. 2005.
