Throughout his career, Luke has matched
his natural and incredibly prolific
creative bounce with an ear for
accessibility, and never more
successfully than on YosepH (note the
pH  which here refers to a table of
bases, acids and very excited neurons).
The logical conclusion to years of
self-inflicted abuse within the genre of
acid-techno, YosepH is what you might
call an acid renaissance album,
deceptively simple yet sonically
timeless. A record that can cut it on the
dancefloor (try to resist the lure of I
Love Acid, Acidisco or Synthax), YosepH
is a seriously addictive batch of
fresh acid, wrought with much love from
a collection of vintage analogue synths
and polished with the meticulous Vibert
production glow and pHat bottom end. Its
the definitive, killer record Luke
Vibert has always threatened to make.
A Cornwall contemporary and longtime
associate of Richard D James, Luke
Vibert has released music under various
pseudonyms including the off-kilter
funk of Wagon Christ, the seminal drum
n bass of Plug and a much celebrated
collaboration with steel guitarist BJ
Cole as well as remixing a host of his
peers including Nine Inch Nails,
Squarepusher, Aphex Twin, The Artful
Dodger, Tortoise, Cylob, Lamb and
Stereolab. Kid 606 even did a track
called Luke Vibert Can Kiss My Indie
Punk Whiteboy Ass on his album Down
With The Scene in which he fiendishly
stole a sample from the Plug track
Military Jazz. (Always a gentleman, Luke
played a gig with the Kid in Los Angeles
in 2001). Luke has also compiled two
respected albums of library music
(Nuggets, Further Nuggets) for Lo
Recordings and clocked up not one, but
two Peel Session recordings. He is
currently releasing a series of
Plug-style jungle 12s on Rephlex under
the name Amen Andrews, has a Moog
collaboration with Jean Jacques Perrey on
the way, an upcoming Metro Area-esque
disco album as Kerrier District as well
as several other projects. No rest for
the wicked, then.
