"While most modern artists pursue impossible dreams of flying into space with your brain on board, the genial, unhurried figure of P.P. Roy raises an eyebrow as if to say -- ?!...In at the shallow end of the mid-'90s easy listening boom, then-DJ P.P. Roy wanted more from his music than just retro laughs. He wanted to make NOW music of warmth and character. The examples he followed in achieving this included such soundtrack composers as Ron Grainer and Stu Phillips, whose scores often had a longer lasting appeal than the films they accompanied, and electronic pioneers like Walter Sear and Dan Hill, men who made music in laboratories wearing suits and ties. Then there were the unsung arrangers, orchestra leaders and composers of untold anonymous instrumental mood and library music of the last four decades, and the unavoidable signposts left by legendary production visionaries such as Joe Meek and Giorgio Moroder. Some challenge -- but shouldn't a man's grasp exceed his reach? From the propulsive shake-up of 'In At The Beep End' to the spray can and watercolour 'Theme From EZPZ', it's this musical vision -- and an innate understanding of the concept of 'Braindance' -- that brought PP Roy to the attention of Rephlex records."

"PP Roy returns with a distinctive brain blast of flavours on his new ep: Seven Up. Hearing is believing. Over its seven tracks, the music on this EP is even more fantastic than on his outstanding debut album You Can't help Liking PP Roy. Featured on this sumptuous cornucopia the listener can find breakstep classics, a collaboration with fellow Rephlex artist Global Goon, electronic bird bleeps, oap poetry, new country, ambient and illbient and fine string arrangements. These sum parts add up to a genre-busting bonanza that will delight whether you are relaxing in the living room or dancing in the disco tech. This is a release that could slide up to Missy Elliot, share some canapés with the avalanches then compare notes with DJ Shadow."
