Since first dropping on wax five years ago, Aether's Fent Plates debut, Viraha, has become something of an in-demand EP online - hence this timely reissue. We'd argue that it remains the Scottish producer's most potent and musically detailed work, wrapping atmospheric and alluring melodic elements - think twinkling, melancholic piano motifs, manipulated female vocal samples and emotive chords - around the deepest of dubstep beats, head-nodding trip-hop grooves and hazy aural textures. Throw in a couple of fine ambient tracks and you have a brilliantly blissful, contemplative EP that's tailor-made for sofa-bound post-club plays and escapist afternoon daydreaming.
