"It's sad that electronic music gets cut into subdivisions, stacked up in silos, and confined to genre ghettos with the names hyphenated together to fit whatever the new style is that just came out this week. In his new release, Tom Phonic ignores all of this to make an eclectic and creative record that opens the party doors wide. The album, "Don't Be a Delimiter" plays with styles but it sounds more like pointillism than collage. All the micro-parts come together to make a smooth whole, full of surprises without sounding like a mixtape. "Skizzer," track 3 on the album, has a little housey 808 action, a little IDM, some breaks and some rock bass guitar all in under three minutes. It's a contemplative album with a personal element that's most obvious when Tom sings, often with vocoders and unprocessed singing as on "The Sun that Sinks Me", adding a warmth and a seriousness that non-fans tend to assume electronic music can't provide." - Richard of Powerstrip Circus - http://www.myspace.com/octoid
