It’s doubtful even Stephen James Buckley knows how many Polypores records he’s made in 2020, but his work rate might be explained by the stated mission of ‘Tempus’. Namely, “the manipulation of the time domain through music”. It’s a blissful collection of amniotic modular workouts, with the likes of ‘Clockworms’ and ‘Dreamtime’ unfolding with hypnotic, mathematical precision. Buckley is an utter treasure, and – if his time manipulation experiments are successful – he’ll probably record another six albums before the turn of 2018.
