Comment: this 22-notch mammoth release by Soletik reflects upon some sort of incongruousness within the Directional structure and following and questing subsequent tensions because of it. The breaks are heavily chopped-up, magnified and amplified to take a cacophonous lead over the course of an 86 minute. Stylistically one can hear different club and electronic music elements like techno, house, electro, breakbeat. Frequently the dominant aspect is challenged by fragmented melodies and harmonies as if the irritating counterpoint to it. It is like a symptom describing a deranged human mind, and it is also a prediction what will have happened in societies in 2018. As many signs will have shown people get tired of artificial arrangements of the economics, societal relationships, an imminent, unreasonable burden of migrants. They are searching for a free version of life, seeking for the true version of democracy, for the vox populi. The question is not about either the right wing or left wing, it is all about the survival of (representative) democracy. The mind-provoking issue is a part of the discography of Fusion Netlabel.
