Comment: this 11-track album comes out from XLR, an little Estonian label. These long-running notches do merge together brooding techno and tekno. At times it is a sort of suffocating club/dance, sometimes inflected enough to run on dreamy, deep techno rails. Of course, there can be met some exceptions as well. The Pattern Of Chaos functions to bounce through drum and bass and dub-inflected reflections. Or Carpet Chill which is a light-hearted house sequence which onward gets involved in kind of psytrance undulation. Smooth Mod does display joyous bubblegum-ish beats shimmered with cosmic beats and a little pitchbent electronica behind it. An intricate release indeed.
