2016 four CD set. Two years in the making, Close To The Noise Floor is a 61-track set exploring the origins of electronica in the UK. Featuring tracks from key figures on the cassette label underground alongside early releases by future stars of the movement, this is part primitive rave, part synthesizer porn and part history lesson. Enthralled by the mysterious electronics of Pink Floyd, Hawkwind, Gong and German Kosmische artists such as Tangerine Dream, Harmonia and Cluster, and inspired by the DIY ethos of punk, a quiet revolution took place across the UK in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The rise of the microchip and the advent of affordable synthesizers enabled countless artists for whom guitars, drums and bass had become old hat, and in grubby bedsits, unremarkable living rooms and art school halls across the British Isles, UK electronica was born. The underground, fueled by cassette exchanges, co-operative vinyl compilations and a thriving mail order network, quickly began to stretch the boundaries of sonic experimentation. Close To The Noise Floor explores every corner of this fascinating and often overlooked chapter in our musical history. For proto synth-pop look no further than 100% Manmade Fibre and Spoon Fazer, whilst British Standard Unit and Five Times Of Dust lay out techno templates which wouldn't take full form until many years later. Elsewhere, the synthesizer laden ambient music of Zorch and the found sound collages of A Tent sit comfortably alongside early forays by familiar names - Blancmange, The Human League, OMD and Throbbing Gristle - in over four hours of futurist, entirely modern music.

Thoughtful design with multiple useful attachments
Color: Light Black
Trying this 5-in-1 trimmer for a few days made it clear that the interchangeable heads are the main highlight. Each attachment has a clear purpose, so switching between trimming areas is straightforward and doesn’t require figuring out complicated settings. The motor runs quietly and the trimming action feels consistent without snagging hair. The body of the device is lightweight and comfortable to hold, which helps when working around smaller areas that need more control. Another detail I liked is the rechargeable design, since it removes the need for disposable batteries and keeps the device ready whenever needed. After charging, it lasted through several grooming sessions before the battery indicator suggested another charge. The detachable heads rinse clean easily, which makes maintenance simple and keeps everything hygienic. It’s a compact grooming tool that manages to combine several functions in one device without feeling overly complicated.

Well that didn't last long
Color: Blue
Worked great at first, but only got it last November and it doesn't work now in April. I've cleaned it out totally and it still sounds awful. I don't know what's wrong. I mostly use this on my face every morning. It should have lasted longer.

Smooth, precise, and no leftover hair exactly what I needed
Color: Rose Gold
I bought this trimmer looking for something simple but effective, and it really exceeded my expectations. From the first pass, it cuts cleanly without leaving behind stray hairs or that rough feeling some trimmers cause. I love how even the results look, especially on sensitive areas like the bikini line and underarms. It’s also very gentle on the skin — no irritation or redness, which is a big plus for me. It’s also very versatile. I’ve used it on different parts of my body without any issues, and being waterproof makes it even more convenient for shower use and quick cleaning. It’s one of those products that actually makes your routine easier.

Solid all-in-one
I was pleasantly surprised by how versatile this bikini trimmer is. The 2-in-1 design makes it easy to switch between body grooming and more delicate areas, so I don’t need to keep multiple devices. The trimmer feels lightweight in the hand, but the build quality doesn’t feel flimsy, it has a smooth finish and is easy to grip, even when used in the shower. The blades glide well over the skin without tugging or causing redness, which is something I’ve experienced with other trimmers. I tried it on underarms, legs, and bikini area, and it handled each area differently but effectively. For sensitive spots, it gave a close trim without irritation, and for legs it left the skin smooth enough for daily wear without needing to go over the same area multiple times. The IPX7 waterproof feature really adds convenience because I can rinse the whole unit under water after use without worrying about damage. The dry shave option is equally practical when I need a quick touch-up. Battery life has been reliable so far, and I like that it’s cordless, which makes it easier to use freely. Overall, this trimmer is a solid all-in-one solution for women who want something compact, gentle, and efficient. It’s especially helpful for anyone who values both convenience and skin comfort.
