about

First available in digital format in September 2021, Black Smoke Curls has been one of our most popular releases and we're delighted to bring you a CD version from 16 September 2022.

This is Anatomist aka Neil Sweet’s third full-length album on Machine Records. Mile-wide bass lines, brittle percussion and drunken beats combine with found sounds and multi-layered distortion to disorienting effect.

Black Smoke Curls has received airplay on Space Is The Place, The Other Window, Electrodome, Resonance Extra, The Institute of Spectra-Sonic Sound, The Electronica Show and Sound Waves on Radio Free Matlock, Dandelion Radio, and more. Anatomist has previously been played on shows including BBC Introducing - Cornwall, The Selector, BBC Radio Wales, BBC Radio One, and Another Fine Mess.

Electroscope Album of the Day. ”A tripped out soundscape organically brought together in layers of distorted bass, beats, and electro sounds suspended in open spaces.”

The Letter: “An electronic album that incorporates brazen bass lines, quaking Dub and proper melody… feeds my insatiable hunger for tasty Bass rhythms, scratches that persistent Breaks itch that's always so difficult to reach and answers my ever-increasing Dub cravings.. Opener Mob Mentality ripples in with ghosts of Dubstep that transmogrify into teasing Dub before seducing with a rumbling bassline and slowmo head-nod. My fav is Aqualung, heavy on the Dub and plenty of Bass pressure; top-notch Dub Techno by any other name - the insane riff that first strikes around 3:30 demonstrates Sweet's talent for an earworm!”

Disruptive Rhythms: “The better the system, the bigger the sound. Superb new release by Anatomist on Machine Records. Don't forget the pulsing basslines.”

Buzz: “Doing these extremely useful and public service-y columns in alphabetical order means, for June, that “recent Welsh music” begins with a guy who lives in Cornwall on a label based in New Zealand. Don’t bother me none, though, as the guy is Neil Sweet aka Anatomist and the label is Machine Records, both of whom cut their teeth in the Welsh IDM scene of the mid-00s… Great days! And Anatomist’s Come Closer, instrumental electronica equal parts spooky, clanky and melodic, is rolling back the years peachily too.”

As Anatomist, Neil has been busting bass bins live around South Wales and Cornwall since the earliest incarnation of Machine Records’ Terminal nights. Live highlights include supporting Schneider TM at The Point in Cardiff, Client at Clwb Ifor Bach, and Compass Point Festival.
