Boomkat review
danielsan on norman records site wrote this about Yo Ron Juzzle :
i was expecting something similar to clickits but this music couldnt be further from the minimal delights of the clickits.. mad as toast.
Boomkat review (Unedited)
"Ronny Juzzle is the carefully chosen moniker of none other than Manchester's very own (at least for another two days before he moves to Cornwall to become an ice sculptor… really) Jonny Russell (see what he did there?) probably better known as the one from Clickits who hasn't already released a solo album on Moteer. Phew… well the very lovely ONO, Ducie House's very own CDR label, has finally felt the urge to give this twisted mind his own space in the music scene, and on his debut mini-album we get treated to a hiccupping barrage of digitally manipulated ADD sound that's ready to give Autechre a run for their money. Well sort of anyway, this is music made by someone who won't get a job because he wasn't wired that way, music from a character who prefers to smoke crack with overweight milfs from Rochdale than go to the Roller Disco with his mates, music from a guy who tried to burn the entire stock of Clickits long sold out (or did it really sell out?) first 12". But then we've always known that the best musicians are totally mental, look at Prince, he had a rib removed so he could kiss the toy snake goodnight without any outside assistance, and don't even get me started on Sun Ra, I'm sure you've all seen the X-Files already. I guess all that's left to do is to tell you if you like the kind of frazzled glitchscapes that Miami's Schematic imprint popularised all those many moons ago injected with the sort of humour you'd expect to have seen on a Northern TV screen in 1975 (you know, worryingly politically incorrect and slightly losing its edge over time, but having a cuddly warm feeling like you've been touched in your special place while you were sleeping) then this is the disc for you. We promise you won't hear anything else like it this year… or decade... "
