It’s barely been five minutes – at least in cosmic time – since clang released the audaciously-titled ‘The Revelation According to Frank Beho’, and on the evidence of this latest set, Frank’s big ideas keep on getting bigger. ‘A Trip to the Space [Between]’ may contain only six tracks, but half of them are way over six minutes in duration, and their length is equalled by their immense depth.
‘A Trip to the Space [Between]’ defies categorisation. Benkho employs a vast array of kit to create something that’s not dance, nor ambient, nor krautrock, but is very much electronic on its creation.

The compositions are many-layered and multi-faceted, with manifold rhythms cutting across one another simultaneously. The layers build vast swathes of sound which expand in all directions, continually reconfiguring time and space in Benkho’s own terms. It’s an ambitious work, a dizzying, bewildering and at times vertiginous listening experience. A trip indeed.
