Description/Reviews
It’s an album that could have been released in many different years, be it ’72, ’81, 93, or now. But it's in no way reductive - instead, it’s a progressive rethink which manages to sound familiar and contemporary. Opener “From The Outside” and its companion piece “To The Inside” are indicative of their approach; beat driven, techno inspired drum patterns which propel the driving basslines are topped off with atmospheric keywork, acting as 2014 re-dubs of “Autobhan” but released from its oppressive thirteen minute length and restructured into something resembling instrumental pop.
Being fully instrumental means that it’s the dense atmospherics that are centre stage, the crunching glammy rock of “Roehre” sounds like The Fall with a migraine and additional jazzy breaks of squealing saxophone. They make the switch from vague ambient atmospherics (the Boards of Canada-ish “Ozymiandas”) to direct (the jarring hard post-punk of “Trophaee”) sound like a simple one. Atmosphere is the driver here, and the atmosphere is pretty dark.
