Head Down Arms Buddha Position vinyl

In many ways, the TANSTFAAFL imprint run by DJ October and John Osborn is the perfect home for Joey Anderson. The New Jersey native's take on techno and house - sparse and mechanical, but heavily influenced by both classic Detroit futurism and the twisted pulse of Chicago acid - is a perfect match with the electronic ethos of both TANSTFAAFL. bosses There's naturally much to admire about Heads Down Buddha Position, from the title track's surging drums, ragging acid and wild electronics, to the alien bass, melancholic chords and soft focus drums of the deeper "Tears Can't Bring You Near". Arguably best of all, though, are the fluttering drums, funeral chords and sci-fi electronics of closer "You Gave Me Life Again".
