What can you say about this young South Australian artist that won’t sound like superlative ramblings? I’ll get it out up front; I love this album. Super Science has put down a cluster of impeccable tracks. It may sound like a bold statement, but considering the absence of anything tangible in the Adelaide ambient scene this may be to the local scene what ‘Surfing on Sine Waves’ was to the UK. ‘Love Like Life in Miniature’ is faultless from start to finish, although two of the last three tracks might not stand as well on their own without the introduction of the rest of the CD.

The album begins with the melodic and soothing Invert the Universe. The best thing about this track is you don’t have to be a freaked-out modulation nerd to love it. This is followed by the impressive ‘Hijack the Satellite’ with some memorable Aphex-like drones.

This sometimes beat-less epic demonstrates Super Science’s range and aptitude. ‘Me + My Rebound Ace’ is a track worth of some airplay in this country. Up-tempo and thoughtful this is as good as anything Friendly could produce.

My heart really lies with ambient trance and ‘As Your Heart Stops + Starts’ stands out as my personal favourite on the disc.

Listening to it you would have to pinch yourself that you’re not actually listening to either of the ‘Twins’ ‘Ambient Collections’. Similarly the final track, ‘A Day I Caught the Sunlight’, is hauntingly beautiful, displaying a diverse range of influences. This is also true of ‘Days Golden End’ which exhibits a frenetic beat and curiously songful lyric although maintaining the keyboard sensibilities of the rest of the work. Brilliance seems to plague this album and the track ‘Now Which Way to Where?’ perhaps sums up the content of this determined debut: exceptional break beats over a satisfying and jubilant array of instrumentation.

i liked the album (Clue To Kalo "Come Here When You Sleepwalk") a lot, but check his first one if you can: 'Love like life in miniature' as 'Superscience' on Australian label Surgery. Less indie-tronica and more melodic and experimental... really different..
