Anyone on here who isn't familiar with his stuff, I'd recommend you check it out. Personally, I don't think I've ever heard a poor Kit Clayton track, and I know I'm not the only own who thinks that whilst he's not from (or "for" ;-) Detroit, his music has an edge with which people who like 'Detroit' electronic music, can find an affinity. (For instance Juan Atkins used "Belt Frictional Problem" some years back on a mix cd.) His style seems primarily 'dubby' (dubby in a techno sense that is). But it ranges from crystal clear, highly structured arrangements which (for me) seem to put the intelligence back into 'IDM', to seriously browned-out, blatantly toking delay-fests. (Did you know, for instance that a Kit Clayton track holds the first ~scape catalogue number? It's sc 001 for 'Nek Purpalet'. Happy discovering for anyone who hasn't yet. http://www.discogs.com/artist/Kit+Clayton k
