There’s a shimmer, a sheen to the work of Lusine (aka Jeff McIlwain) that belies what is always a juggernaut of editing and sound design. “Thick of It” is a perfect example off of his newest album, “A Certain Distance.” The swell of the arps, the finely layered static, the side-chained pads, all so expertly diced and melded together… and, as a Mister Track associate put it: “the vocoder work alone should get your crotch hot.” Well, then. Enjoy what I believe to be as rich an auditory patina as electronic music has to offer these days.
