Forces are joined on the opening triad; the beatlessly billowing clouds of
VALID RAND (1:20) are eventually pounded upon by rough e-percussion
and draped with moody tonal washes as the piece becomes the title track.
Fluttering and sputtering, VALID FARD merges lovely layers of radiant sheening with staccato rhythmic effects.
Arovane then contributes two tracks of his own; the thumpingly delicious (FARD) ENT:R is an entrancing convergence of the pretty and the gritty.
Softer NEYEM twirls with twisted harmonic spirals and fainter percussion.
Phonem delivers a pair of solo pieces as well; raspy beat-breaking rhythms spatter across the shifty sands of SUFFER. An elegant sense of
DECAY (8:41) is peppered with grungy percussive effects and odd little scritchies. The artists reconvene for a final collab in the subterranean murk of
BLACKSOIL where dark, echoey pulsations are obviously dug from the same material as the opening number.
