Having dropped digitally a few weeks back via his own Bubbletease Communications label, Maurice Fulton’s latest album as Boof has finally landed on wax courtesy of Gerd Janson and Running Back. It’s worth picking up, not least because Fulton’s musical vision is so vibrant and distinctive. Over two slabs of wax, the Sheffield-based American delivers a swathe of ear-pleasing, off-kilter deep house numbers laden with colourful synthesizer sounds, jazzy electric piano stabs, opaque chords and rubbery bass guitar. There are of course plenty of interesting and oddball diversions to be found throughout (see “Ana’s F Is Chillin”, the intoxicating and exotic “Japanese Indian Shrimp Curry”, and the totle track’s kaleidoscopic space jazz), as well as a handful of ultra-percussive peak-time beasts (see “Luam Has Found Her Z”).
