'Field Drawings' is Ryan Teague's third solo album and a welcome return from the Bristol-based composer/producer. 'Field Drawings’ twelve relatively brief essays, graph paper solemnity is always kept at bay by Teague’s robust approach to melody and his ability to evoke a consistent mood, one that’s neither euphoric nor melancholy but which remains irrefutably ‘heightened’, even dream-like, throughout. Preferring the emotional tug evoked by the enmeshing of simple, contrapuntal melody lines and the glowing properties of modulating major-to-minor chord sequences set against pretty, arpeggiating note clusters. It begins like a Michael Nyman film theme running backwards and is then inexorably engulfed by stratus clouds of Avro Part-like legato strings.

'Last Known Position' is the first single from 'Block Boundaries', Teague's fifth album, and it demonstrates a sonic and thematic shift towards a more focused and energised sound. Teague beautifully extends the album version of 'Last Known Position' for the EP, taking it into new, unchartered territory to enthralling effect. The EP is completed with a brilliant selection of guest remixers. Warp duo Plaid provide an excellent, upbeat reworking of the title track, while techno aficionado The Field delivers a rolling techno number. The EP concludes with a pulsating reinterpretation from Glasweigan three-piece Errors.
