Description
2021, 2×12″ LP, Ilian Tape.
Glaxian opts to go deep with this one, donning the moniker Kas to present a 12 track collection of work best described as haunting. The sense of foreboding, ominous possibilities, space, and stepping into the unknown is tangible throughout, with the producer painting complex pictures of machine-driven futures in which only the odd rays of light make it to ground level. Not so much dancefloor, but not unfamiliar with the idea of a dancefloor, tunes are split between eerie drone work (‘Self Aware Field (Part 2)’), breakneck broken rave (‘Holographic Matrix of Informational Totality’), and ethereal science fiction wonders (‘Last Silence’ sounds like we’re listening to first contact from off-world). ‘Mystery Beyond Mystery’ providing perhaps the best example of when all those totems are brought together – something very special indeed. – Juno
