The kaleidoscopic FACT mix 322 helps a little to map out that DNA of King Britt. As well as a generous helping of Fhloston Paradigm’s own productions – including the marvellous ‘Chase’ from the Hyperdub EP – there are excerpts from the Logan’s Run and Blade Runner soundtracks, gravely romantic 80s balladry from David Sylvian and Eurhythmics (the show-stopping ‘Take Me To Your Heart’), Alice Coltrane-style astral jazz from Low Leaf, soaring techno from Galaxy 2 Galaxy (Underground Resistance), precious ambience from Ryuichi Sakamoto and Alva Noto, as well as plenty of unexpected surprises – like Tenko’s bewitching, Fred Frith and Arto Lindsay-featuring ‘Gradual Disappearance’. It’s all moulded together with an auteur’s refined sense of narrative and atmosphere, and we suspect that this is going to be one of those FACT mixes – like King Midas Sound’s or The Soft Moon’s – that becomes a permanent fixture in our lives.
