The artwork of Seattle transplant Gel-Sol's recent album depicts a visualisation of sound in nature. Fittingly, you might describe Unifactor as an aural picture of life itself. Trippy, eh? "Open Her" sets the tone with a plunderphonic lesson in today's technologically obsessed culture. Coming down like an after school special getting war-torn youth accustomed to air raids and tactical training through the town square, the album comes off too cheeky to be preachy. Take it from Star Trek's Bones: "Look at those poor creatures, they've been blasted into oblivion!" "Propulsion" is an updated take on Floyd's "On the Run," sewing sampled snippets from media broadcasts through the audacious blipping of the psychedelic landmark, revamped with killer breaks. "On a Clear Night You Can Still See The Answer" implies that dub is the secret, with the traditionally syncopated guitar that barely clips the horizon for just a moment around midnight. "Slowjob" is the kicker, though, where a soothing feminine voice prepares the listener for hypnotisation, counting down to one and anticipated calm. The listener naturally expects a deep sonic montage to ensue, and boy does it ever. Clever enough for some to miss, stupid enough to really satisfy.

SPOILER!
