In the same week that Puzzlebox reissues some of Keith Tucker’s earliest work as Optic Nerve comes Reassimilation. Originally released in 2009 on Diametric, it showcases the coming together of Tucker’s love for esoteric electro and clubby Detroit techno. “Origins – Intellectual Vocal Mix” is a sensuous ambient affair which features a sassy vocal sample, while the “Techno Mix” sees the velvety vocal tones unfold over a wiry rhythm. However, it’s on “Elements” that Tucker’s fusion finds its most articulate expression, with a rolling groove providing the basis for a soaring strings and atmospheric synths. The breathy ambience of “Anomoly” completes the package.
