After a two-year wait since Tadd Mullinixs last release as James T. Cotton, the man storms back with On Time, four tracks packed with more music than any EP has a right to. The titular first cut announces itself with tight jacks and bouncing bass before a male voice begins an endless >On Time< mantra, twisting and churning furiously through more than eight minutes. The short n sweet >Octopus< mines Drexciya territory with granular synths and washes of static. >On Time (Rick Wades Grimetime Remix)< is a decidedly sexy, nocturnal house reinvention of the original, pushing languorous keys to the fore. >Jak Your Own Stars< builds slowly with rubberband bass, cowbells, and an 8-bit melody till some nasty 808s toy with the funk.
