Product description "PP Roy returns with a distinctive brain blast of flavours on his new ep: Seven Up. Hearing is believing. Over its seven tracks, the music on this EP is even more fantastic than on his outstanding debut album You Can't help Liking PP Roy. Featured on this sumptuous cornucopia the listener can find breakstep classics, a collaboration with fellow Rephlex artist Global Goon, electronic bird bleeps, oap poetry, new country, ambient and illbient and fine string arrangements. These sum parts add up to a genre-busting bonanza that will delight whether you are relaxing in the living room or dancing in the disco tech. This is a release that could slide up to Missy Elliot, share some canapés with the avalanches then compare notes with DJ Shadow." Review About two years ago, David Nicholls released You Can t Help Liking . . . PP Roy with relatively little fanfare. After all, it was Rephlex electro kitsch typical for the period (see Ovuca, Slipper, Ensemble), albeit Nicholls showed a little more Austin Powers go-go flair in swanky booty-shakers such as "Like, Wow!?" and the Mancini-ish "A Taste of Tarmac." Now he s offering us a more genuine release in Seven Up, where the charming mockery of lounge tropes gives way to a contemplative musical countenance. It doesn t hurt that he pulls in Global Goon for some sunshine-y percussion backup on "Working in Harmony Together," but even that cut bears a melodic weight that can t be discarded. The humorous lope of "For Cowboys" is overshadowed by the gravity of dark atmosphere and remarkably ominous frog sounds, while the electro-duck silliness in "Fig. 3" succumbs to the pressure of lush strings. So while the verve remains, PP Roy s music progresses beyond that of his peers of years past. Heath K. Hignight -- From URB Magazine
