CULPRIT ONE

RUNNING IN ORDER

EXCEPTIONAL

CD

(JULY 2007)

‘Running In Order’ is Culprit One’s highly anticipated debut album, combining his critically-acclaimed vocal collaborations and cinematic instrumentals to create one breathtaking tour de force of electronic music.

Taking influence from legends such as The Chemical Brothers, Orbital, Boards of Canada, Timbaland, and DJ Shadow, Culprit One's unusual arrangements and three-minute sampladelic symphonies have won praise across the entire musical spectrum.

Predictable is not a word to use around Culprit One, Exceptional Recordings'' very own Welsh wonder.  ‘Running In Order’ is a precise mix of chaos (see the frantic-paced beats of ‘Berliner’ or the up-tempo micro symphony of backwards drums and distortion that is ‘Manical’) and calm (shown in the dreamy grooves of ‘Flute Box’ and the stunning orchestrations of closing track ‘Strings Outro’).

With plenty of twists and turns, this is an album that does not conform to any rules.

PRESS QUOTES

"A dazzling array of influences packed in to every minute. Impossible to resist" (DJ)

"A symphonic masterwork. ‘Running in Order’ could prove to be a defining moment in electronica… a new panorama of possibilities is revealed for all who dare to follow its heels" (Drowned in Sound)

"Masterful...an engaging listening experience rarely found on an electronic music album. You'd be hard pressed to find another young producer who can make music of this calibre" (Beatportal)

"Culprit 1 has an innate ability to focus on a feeling" (iDJ)

"A work of beauty. From the manic drum lace-up of ‘Electric State’ via the warping hip-hop of ‘Hollow’ it’s great stuff throughout" (Blowback)
