Whoever tries to speak to you with electronic sound and returns to make a remarkable and avant-garde break drum, this The Tuss doesn't care about fame. It's an unknown artist who sent a demo to Rephlex, and they call themselves Karen Tregalsky. For this reason, they are sought after in the engineering solitude of a background construction edited by Karen The Tuss.

The sophistication of the album in question is up to the listener. What you hear is what he did because firstly: you don't know how he created "Rushup Edge", secondly: it's unknown how he experimented or reached achieving after millions of different solutions this immersion in the sound well he offers. Sounds circled and highlighted, created and constructed to form an artistic break space edited by a start and a finish in the required total duration of 32.49 seconds, cleaned and led to an excessively bright end. It fills the black hole of darkness with broken sounds and references to the new era of sound.

It resembles nothing but Aphex Twin, and I adore Richard. But Squarepusher and Autechre? It's an experiment not only successfully realized but splendidly ahead. For The Tuss, the time of braindance is not yet over, but it strives to be a worthy successor of the aforementioned. My only doubt is that this project is a collaboration between these three gurus and friends because such a refined mix of melodies and super-complex drums I have never heard, not even in "Drukqs" did Aphex Twin dare so much. It astonishes and makes you reflect, it meditates and grows listen after listen.

A stroke of braindance genius!

 "Rushup Edge by the moniker The Tuss is simply one of the many pseudonyms used for yet another work by Aphex Twin."

 "In the amateurish and pretentious landscape of electronic music for listening, works like these are a godsend."
