You’ve got to love music as uncompromisingly grinding and dark as this. There’s much darker and uncompromising for sure, but this manages to retain an outside chance of being played down your local fleshpot instead of being consigned to the mind rave. All original versions feel like they were being recorded through a treacle filter, yet still manage to retain a semblance of clarity. The bpms are relatively low, but that only intensifies the experience. ‘Nahid’ sounds like it incorporates a piano being played by Les Dawson on Crack, as well as a slowed down sax from hell. ‘Shayer’ must have been recorded in the bombed out church at the top of Renshaw St with the stars shining over the roof. ‘Sophia’ is a track on a mission to wipe all human life from the face of the Earth. And both Matrixxman remixes of Sophia speed the groove up, the ‘Medusa’ mix being particularly useful and having a nice ALFOS vibe for late in the set. The ‘Cyborg’ mix is great, but too quick of the mark for my feet at least. Lovely stuff!
