The EP—two 10-minute long tracks of scuzzy broken techno that switched gears as often as Meshuggah change keys—was both awe-inspiring and befuddling.
Music From the Merch Desk offers no bonus material or extras; a handful of these records were already repeats, picking out highlights from webstore-only releases.
Another good chunk of the compilation is taken from an LP also known as , after the UK festival James played in 2017, featuring glimpses of brilliance overshadowed by fiddly noodling.
The rest is hit or miss, with thrilling high points. The Barcelona 12", never officially released online, is wonderful.
