This release balances portentousness and funk very well. Electro is the dominant motif, but there is evidence of other interplanetary forms as well. ‘Out Of Time’ shows great dexterity with breakbeats, ‘Damaged’ intensifies the experience. ‘Cyborg’ ‘Trust In The Shadows’ and ‘First Contact’ each show something a little different, being heavy, melancholic and driving respectively. That being said, these elements cross pollinate each other and, in doing so, contribute to a release which doesn’t waste a beat. Lovely stuff!
