RA Review
After a quietly spellbinding debut for Hotflush back in February of this year, South London's James Shaw (better known to discerning bass-heads as Sigha) is back on the case with a second, hair-raisingly skeletal release for the label.

You don't say. Is that problematic? (I think you'll find that quite a few of RA's single reviews come through well after their subjects' release dates.)

I'm still not really sure what your point is... To complain that a review is 'late' seems a little facile. When exactly should it have been written? One week before the official release? One week after? Within two weeks? Within two months? (Maybe there are some guidlines I'm not aware of?)

Personally, I thinks it's commendable that Resident Advisor are willing to publish reviews of records that have been around for a little while as it gives the reviewer, producer and listener(s) a chance to apprehend the record with a little perspective. In a dance music culture all but obsessed with immediacy, I think that's a pretty healthy thing.

Of course we'd all like to see all 'the important records' reviewed within a week of their release dates. It isn't possible though. If there's something to say about the record, The garage continuum isn't so blindingly dynamic that the passing of three or four months should make such observations obsolete. Also, not everybody hears these records right away, and for those that don't, these reviews probably aren't so irritating.

maybe it's a sign of well-justified longevity if a record seems worth reviewing months after release..

Who cares when the review appears - this is a great 12' and a fine review. I'm listening to it now - thanks to Resident Advisor for reminding me about it!
