Undoubtedly the most anticipated album of the last 12 months, Martyn's debut full length arrives amidst a cacophany of fanfare and media hype, but is it any cop? We'll have to go with the consensus on this one, because as dubstep albums go, this is a right killer and pretty much exactly what we expected from this incredibly talented producer. The dubstep scene has thrown up a few auteurs in it's time, but few as single minded yet expansively influenced as Martyn. Coming from a background in D'n'B, with releases for Revolve:r and Bassbin, Martyn has proven that he has a keener and more discerning set of lugs than the rest of the scene with DJ sets drawing for prime Detroit techno, Berlin dub house and minimal and UK broken beats besides the usual dubstep, all obviously informing his multi faceted ouevre, which he simply sums up as "The Martyn Sound". It takes a great deal of skill and an idiomatic spirit to cut through so many styles and still emerge without it sounding like a glut of mismatched angles, but Martyn has made this his stock in trade. 'Great Lengths' is rammed full of these stylistic fissions. Edited to requirements for the vinyl version, the set opens with 'Right?Star!' a bubbling warm-up tune with sparkling hi-end electronics and liquid rollidge to rub any dance into the groove, before the shockingly heavy 'Seventy Four' makes an essential appearance. To our knowledge this is the first time he's approached a track at under 130bpm and it's a killer, sounding like Theo Parrish if he'd listened to more bass weighted dubstep with an elegantly ruff Detroit house cut swirling with the same jazzy abstraction but just smudged in all the right places by deft Martyn brushstrokes. The intriguing collaboration with dBridge makes an appearance with an ear opening falsetto from the Bad Company don. 'Hear Me' will probably rank as a lot of head's favourite cut, coming from the post-Burial angle of smoky atmospherics, and beautifully poised rhythmic sensuality anchored by velveteen subs. The vinyl album come to a close with the paranoid voice-in-your-head vocals from Spaceape on 'Is This Insanity?' rolling loops of clipped mid-eastern percussion over an ebbing bass heave and melodramatic midnight vibes. It's unlikely that anyone will top this masterpiece in the dubstep scene in 2009, but we're more than happy to hear any contenders. Martyn can sit proud knowing he's made one of the most soulful, rhythmically rich and utterly inviting albums of this year. Essential purchase.
