this vinyl record with curious title contains 3 more tracks that did not make it to full-length "circumflex", the album that easily made my top 5 last year. I will not repeat myself describing the music of the band, refer to my rather detailed review of "circumflex".

driving force, bursts of controlled feedback, harsh and rich drum loops, twisted powerful tunes that combine dislocated torn synth lines with heavy drum'n'bass percussion. the beats create a perfect collage of heavy soundscapes that constantly bombard the listener, occasionally pause for a short moment of tranquility. layers of unique noises create dark and rich atmosphere.

tracks absent from the full-length include "metalert" that is built around slowly advancing saturated beat and very recognizable and quite addictive clean twisted synth. brooding darkness, surreal landscapes, crushing rhythmic melody. "ekranoplan" continues with dislocated beats and wide variety of drilling, scratching noises overlaid with contrasting pummeling beats and delicate keys.

get your hands on this as well as any other work by the band. no questions asked.
