Nothing special for Rhythmn Circuit in the end, even though the groove is good. Lets wait and see about the full release

Really liking "The Future", some solid early 2000s Scandinavian Psy Prog vibes..

Sounds = amazing. Those drums on The Future are sick and all tracks sound rich, balanced and pounding. The bandcamp underground producers are so good at using little FX and details to create movement and a hypnotic feel.

But man I am crying out for more musical journey. Is this just a taste thing for me? No one else here feel like the lack of interesting structure, build and journey just make it underwhelming. Grab the scrubber on the tracks and drop it at any timestamp and it all just sounds the same throughout. The sounds are literally everything I want from underground music, but I just cant feel excited about this stuff.

You are not alone. Even for Jeku, the progression on this EP is really lacking. His stuff has always been a bit lackluster in that sense but these ones feel unfinished to me. Ripe for mashing perhaps?
