Album Notes & Community Reviews
As their first full-length album in fifteen years, 'End Beginnings' was produced by remaining Sandwell District members Regis and Function following the death of Silent Servant. The record balances sinewy, heads-down grooves and cinematic techno with mysterious melodies and contemplative soundscapes, a duality reviewers described as both furious and fragile. This synthesis of visceral, dancefloor-oriented tracks and delicate, atmospheric composition results in a sound identified as techno at its most human.
