I like the texture and patterns. I guess these are key components of what is essentially loop-based techno. The hint of a threatening, interplanetary invertebrate super race is also key. This definitely comes across throughout this release. Possibly more on the title track than the others. Refining characteristics is what’s essential to music like this and, the closer you listen, the more susceptible you become to miniscule fluctuations and idiosyncrasies. ‘Chrome’ also has this in spades. Both ‘Permanent’ and ‘Pay Online’ roll more manically, with each of them employing a prominent low ending occasionally tempered by inventive percussive workouts. There’s nothing groundbreaking here, but a great attention to detail is shown which extracts the impurities and pulls you into other worlds.
