Album Notes & Community Reviews

The veteran electronic duo continues their three-decade legacy with an incredibly complex, rhythmically demanding release. Conceptually tackling environmental and political concerns, the music relies heavily on deeply textured polyrhythms, synthesized choirs, and futuristic, metallic sound design. It remains a testament to their enduring relevance as architects of modern, brain-bending IDM.
