An atmospheric opener, d/form's "graphite" hovers in austere synth orchestrations of somber beauty, illuminated by shifting strands of tonal lightness. Mining similarly beatless though spacier zones,
CRUD is "coming out of hiding" as gleaming irradiated streams churn in suspension.
maudib's "Children of the Ort Cloud" features rougher pulsations which become stippled with rapid e-percussion, and a series of more raucous contortions.
Think drum'n'bass in space... "my gluttonous lobster baby" emits phantasmal keyboard choruses which are overlain by dhudn's busy little rhythms. The wafting synth-symphonics of kalx' "atirp" are infused with funkily aggressive electrobeats, clattering with metallic overtones. The ruffling electron murk of "029" (3:06) by
zenas(prime) adopts a hypnotically clunky rhythm and a coordinated pattern of static.
ecux delivers the jungle-istic blips and beats of "secon"; microscopic tribal as rendered by alien robots locks into a groove of clicks, miniature xylotones and resonance. Thudding percussion from
instruction shuttle pounds upon the vague wriggling mesh of pulsating synthtronics which is "utility".
After meeting each of the artists, their second helpings are dispensed in a differently jumbled order beginning with kalx's video-game quirkiness "adinu6".
ecux reappears with the Eastern-ish bop-and-buzz of "y clept" burdened with repeating spoken word phrases.
dhudn's second rounder "but now it's too late" spatters and zips with intriguingly spastic arrhythmia over smooth electronic floes. Powered by distantly muted pounding, "ear drum dream" (6:11) is CRUD's softly scritchy foray into the nocturnal jungles of the sleeping mind.
