‘1000 Year Cycle Of The Dragonfly’ hits the high analogue Detroit – inspired notes all at once. Rolling, bass-heavy percussion moves the track along, which is adorned by glistening, synth stabs and an occasional layer of additional drumming. It’s definitely something that hearkens back to Theiz’s Mathijs Schippers Eevolute days. ‘Filtered Reality’ is much more mellow; the pace drops and a hi-hat keeps time over a heartbeat accompanied by some subtle synthetic embellishment. ‘For The Love’ hits the deep techno/idm sweet spot, and would mix in very well with Wulf & Bear’s ‘Raptures Of The Deep’; as does ‘Infinite Compassion’ which masterfully blends string led atmospherics and highly strung breaks in a stellar combination of android excess. This is Theiz’s third release for EPM, and they’ve all been great, hearkening back to a golden age of Dutch techno that still provides plenty of reference points.
