Dead Wood's work has been mostly released by his own Dirty Demos label, but various pieces of his 'Harmonic Sectors' ended up on compilations but they are here compiled, along with six more, unreleased pieces. Adam Baker, for it is he behind the controls of Dead Wood, seems to have discovered Ableton Live and plays around with a minimal set of sine wave like loops per track. They loop around, in varying lengths. Highly minimal in approach, but it works out pretty well. That is: most of the times. Named 'Harmonic Sector 1', 'Harmonic Sector 2' and 'Harmonic Sector 3' etc, there is a strong sense of homogeneity among the tracks, which makes that sometimes one has the idea one is listening to a similar track made from the same source material. That is a pity, since it has some nice ambient glitch music throughout here, albeit with some repetition among the tracks (FdW)
