专辑简介

by Kingsley MarshallAlthough rumors abounded of Dom Angus' debut LP, Industry, being a full-length concept piece working science-fiction interludes and a number of downbeat tracks into his usual drum'n'bass tech trickery, Angus, in fact, delivered 12 tracks that concentrated heavily on the dancefloor. This second album outing takes an "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" line, following in the footsteps of his debut with thunderous 2-step and menacing atmospheres very much the order of the day, leaving the Amen break behind in favor of expanding upon the apocalyptic synth groans, which holler out over the ever-growling low end with which he made his reputation. The mixed format makes for a relentless listen, with hard-to-find tracks mixed in with the new material and the Optical and Keaton collaborations sure to raise an eyebrow of even the hardened fan. The highlight takes the form of the piano-flecked mix of Shanie's "Life," a welcome respite amongst the crash-bang chaos which is certain to please those of a Matrix mentality.
