    Thanks to his savvy techniques and careful placement, his penchant for the far-out fringes of dance music doesn't seem weird at all, but delightfully intriguing.

    Thomson's manifesto is articulate, incisive and practically book-length.

    At the moment, the diversity on display here feels like something to be treasured rather than wished into oblivion.

    Rhythmically, Ben UFO is giddy, ebullient even. Which is why, even at his most corrosive, he is not just a very smart "crate-digger," but also a phenomenal party starter.

    while other young UK-based electronic experimentalists like Floating Points make it onto the mix, Thomson's heavy label love is a reminder that he's constantly one step ahead of the game.

    Garage, house and techno are twisted into strange new forms over the 70-odd minutes that UFO holds us enthralled for.
