2009 release from one of the Warp label's rising stars. Totems Flare is the Berlin-based, UK native's boldest effort to date, featuring breakneck Dance, driving Techno and baroque melodics. It's also perhaps his most accessible, as it's the first to feature his own vocals. All of the  hyperactive intellect and technically dazzling detail you'd expect from this master  Electronic producer is here, but there is straightforward musicianship at work  that is no longer subtle - Chris uses guitar, drums and piano (albeit unrecognizably processed at times)
