Altair Nouveau is among the spaciest of DFAÆs recent signings, a producer clearly as in love with the soundtracks of John Carpenter as he is with Italo covers of classic rock tunes. >Space Fortress< saves its best for the final two minutes with a synthesized trumpet lead thatÆll have you either pumping your fist or reaching for the off switch. >Showdown<, meanwhile, more adequately gets at MitchellÆs soundtrack love, with its pleasantly percolating backing track giving a chance to various sounds to prove their worth. >Sorcerer< embraces the hints of flourish that Mitchell dropped in spots elsewhere, and goes full-on with the funk. ItÆs tough, well-produced and a little bit funny to listen to in the privacy of your own homeùjust like the 80s soundtrack music that it so readily recalls.
