The long-awaited artist album from the hugely innovative Elite Force is upon us - and it was certainly worth the wait. Released on quality imprint Adrift Records, "Modern:Primitive" sits comfortably beside eclectic and daring releases from label mates Chicken Lips, Meat Katie, Milke and Lee Coombs.

Whether as front-man for electronic-punk outfit Lunatic Calm, film/videogame-music producer extraordinaire, adored DJ (if you've seen this man shake a place to it's foundations, you'll know why) or dance floor producer, Elite Force (AKA Shack) is a name synonymous with quality.

He cut his teeth as a DJ at Exeter University (alongside the rather exclusive group of Frank Tope, Felix Buxton and Thom Yorke), where his weekly 5-hour sets were the ideal breeding ground for his unique sense of eclecticism. His reluctance to play the "scene" game, however, has meant that he has been like an undiscovered gem to many of his fans (Laurent Garnier, Paul Woolford and James Zabiela to name just a few).

Shying away from self-promotion and investing all of his time into his music has meant that he's flown under many-a-radar, but his most recent devotion to the studio has resulted in what will truly be a landmark album that will touch many, many people.

Slipping into the album with the vocodered vocals of the title track before the hooky groove of "Coming Back for More" takes hold, it is swiftly apparent that “Modern:Primitive” is an electronic album that doesn't rely on genre focus or close- minded musical attitudes.

Influences ranging from the likes of Ulrich Schnauss and Underworld through to the poetry of Keruoac and guitars of Sonic Youth are expertly blended, meaning the epic brilliance of tracks like "You" and "Fly Me In To The Ocean" sit alongside the grinding, dirty funk of "Mygen" and grimy party sounds of "Used & Abused" with ease.

This album not only showcases his wide influence base but also sees Shack return to the vocal booth. He does so in fine form, too - with his vocals ranging from the twisted and production heavy to the ethereal and moving, adding yet another facet to this diverse project, and one that makes it deeply personal in a time when collaborations and co-writes are abundantly used as marketing tools.

"Modern:Primitive" is a real listening experience - a true reflection of the skills, ideas and passions of it's writer.
