'Six Modular pieces' is a succint and tidy min-album from a British post-rock group. It's a largely instrumental affair, although what vocals there are resonate of U2's Bono. The most impressive track here comes three songs in with 'Derailleur, King Of The Mountain' which is based on a a simple guitar hook with what sounds like a dripping tap in the background. As far as experimentation goes, though, it's a little disappointing in the same way that the overrated 'Premiers Modernes' compilation by Air was. At best this is background music for nature programmes about sealife, at worst it's an unadventurous and shoulder shrug-inducing effort from Britain's answer to Tortoise although it's certainly not without merit.
