about
LFM returns with his follow up to Proto Human with 13 tracks under the name “Watching”. LFM didn't start the project with any theme in mind, perhaps as Proto Human was written around a theme of what would be the downfall of the human race, would it be technology, war or a biological virus. Well, we all know what happened next. Throughout the production of the album LFM watched a fair few Sci-Fi movies and also kept up with the news on what has been happening out in space. LFM isn't saying that he believes in aliens but wouldn't it be a shame if we are the only beings in the universe. A lot of the tracks seemed to sound like peering into space so that's what the name is about and you'll pick up some space related song titles.
This album also sees a move away from using software exclusively with the introduction of a selection of hardware. With some of the last tracks written modular synthesis starts to feature also. At the core though the album retains the LFM sound that brings a retro sound with simple beats and strong analogue melodies.

Hugely enjoyable companion piece to Eternal Return, with space given to allow tracks to develop and evolve. After listening to Eternal Return, you are left wanting more - and here it is! EdgeofMull
Innovative, playful electroacoustic music from two of the London jazz scene's rising stars, Max Luthert and Duncan Eagles. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 14, 2020
A stunner—dense, richly textured electronic music with songs that crackle like mysterious outer space transmissions. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 19, 2023
Pulsing modular synth compositions that feel both otherworldly and organically alive from DiN label boss Ian Boddy. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 21, 2020
Great album, love the dreamy nostalgic spacey-ness. The old educational samples transport me back to early school days in the TV room and when all we had to worry about was if we were wearing the right trainers or swapping Panini football stickers. vsep13
