Yarhkob - Transmissions

Australian based producer Yarhkob who some people might recognize from the experimental noise rock band Injured Ninja has now released a solo EP. Transmissions is 7 songs of diverse drum 'n' bass. It's all quite good, but I can't help feeling that there is something missing. It's like Yarhkob haven't quite decided what he wants to do on the EP. At times it feels like he wants to do really dirty and gritty beats, but at the same time he puts an equal amount into making dreamy melodies. The end result is that it never really gets dark and hard or really melodic and laidback. It's obvious that he's got talent and I'm sure he could come up with some really good stuff. But then he has to decide what it is that he wants to make first.
