Figurera 'Figurera' (Komplott) Just when you think you've run out of words to describe electronica, out come Figurera with an album so intriguing that you can't help but feel compelled to review it.There's a certain Plone/ Pluxus pop edge to this record, as seen in 'Eddka' and 'nvnis.(ibba)', but before you settle back for an easy ride prepare for the Figurera brand of epileptic rhythm in 'U[9', Accelera Deck/ Aphex Twin percussive rasping in ',Ab [' and 'Lsp/<o' and Köhn - style sinister sonic experimentation in 'sida (;B' I')'.Köhn are probably a good reference point overall ...Figurera are not as off the wall, but the element of methodical chaos and fuzzy logic is often there, and it's also a pigeonhole slack enough to allow Figurera to shift and change shape.Expect great things and no doubt big labels.
