His more recent Fax releases -- two albums with Victor Sol as XJacks, and the collaboration Amp -- have perhaps earned him the widest recognition, but his finest work to date has appeared under his own name on Rather Interesting: the experimental house groover Dandy Jack and the Cosmic Trousers and Dandy Jack and the Plastic Woman, the latter a mix of fizzy ambient, heavily syncopated electro, and jazzy, experimental electronica. Dandy Jack also performed live as a part of band during their "Render" tour, and has appeared on Rather Interesting's Real Intelligence compilation and Geometrik's Electronic Generators. ~ Sean Cooper, Rovi
