‘Inner Space ‘ feels like just that. A panoramic piece that conveys what it says on the tin. Minimal and driving, it gathers momentum in the time tested way of adding and subtracting tuneful tweaks. This happens in such a way as to beguile the listener into thinking that it’s barely getting out of second gear when, in fact, the feet are moving in a different dimension to the mind. A great piece of layering that feels both big room and Balearic. ‘Steel Cathedral’ is more tightly-wound. Coming off like a piece of tracky, Relief-inspired tuneage, (there’s a lot of it about), but utilising a haunting, dramatic melody underneath; it’s not as raw as many of it’s ilk, and this is to its credit. Once all of its components chime in it sounds like a piece of techno, the sharp edges of which have been smudged into something that goes beyond mere functionality.
