Boc Scadet, Lawrence Grover (label head), captured his moniker by fusing the letters of Autechre's Basscadet EP box-set edition (Warp, 1994); he releases high-tech electronic abstractions that sparkle and shine on Temporary Oceans. On this full-length CDr, Boc Scadet unveils 11 integral pieces of pleasantly crafted rhythms much in the vein of Ochre and Zainetica. The crisp, clean and defined sounds of Temporary Oceans reveal the intricacies of thoughtful musical engineering. Hinting at Artificial Intelligence era feelings, Temporary Oceans is chock full of melodic manifestations that trickle down a smooth corridor of subtle tweaks, screeches and sublime frequencies.

While "Temporary Oceans" is a mostly calm album, melodic and relaxing, there are definitely quite a lot of small audio tricks, almost headnod-inducing beats and changes on this album for me to check this in the IDM genre. Probably influenced by the aforementionned Autechre, Bola and Aphex Twin's ambient works, this is an album which, while not reinventing the wheel, is very pleasant to listen to.
