After a fairly uninteresting career, Keith Rankin produces one of his most consistent and most realized projects. In the last decade, Keith has been making some pretty obscure and challenging music that didn?t translate all that well when it came to my or really anyone?s ears. On Mirror Guide, however, he steps out of his comfort zone to produce a dense and epic electronic album that feels a lot like an Iglooghost record, but without the huge amounts of bass. The classical influences, the progressive nature, and the glitch-ie textures all come together very well. My biggest complaint is that the back half is a lot stronger because of the exploration of sounds and structures is better while the front half is more explosive and in your face listen.
