Thug Widow has constructed a wonderful, self-sufficient rave ecosystem on this release. It’s rooted in hardcore, but is full of subtlety and expanse. ‘Invisible Shell Of Energy’ is an incredibly versatile track and could slot into a wide variety of sets due to its degree of funky, emotive engagement. ‘Post Modern Assault Ethics’ is a bass wobbling beast which retains a degree of introspection, as its name suggests. ‘The Sacrifice’ is perhaps the most abstract track here, occasionally soaring out of earshot only to reconstitute itself, while ‘The Voices Beneath The Earth’ has a liquid quality which enables it maximum genre - bending flexibility. Like ‘Invisible Shell Of Energy’, it’s more than the sum of its parts and conveys an indefinable, but positive mood.
