Second time around for Linkwood's delicious debut album, "System", which re-appears this time on his own imprint Night Theatre, a decade after it first hit record stores. The set has aged really well, with the Edinburgh producer's forays into Kraftwerkian electro ("Robot Parade", "Pumpernickel"), vocal nu-boogie (the Reggie Watts-voiced "Tears") and kaleidoscopic electrofunk ("Falling") sounding particularly on-trend.
Of course, there's plenty more to set the pulse racing elsewhere across the LP, from the bustling, Chicago deep house jack of "Electricity", to the rhythmic ambient bliss of loved-up closing cut "Nectarine". It is, then, an album that's not only stood the test of time, but also boasts some genuinely stunning, club-ready
moments.
Sporting a new screen printed sleeve, designed again by his brother Discreet Unit and printed by House Of Traps.
There are also two track changes. LP no longer includes "FUDGE BOOGIE" or "CHICAGO PT. 2", but includes alternate songs "THREE ORIGINAL MIX" & "LINKWOOD LOST EXPERIMENT". Low slung funk & deep house goodness!
