Epic full-length statement from the LA techno mainstay/Droid affiliate. The influence of Ostgut minimalism is felt, but a number of moods are explored. There are touches of EBM/Industrial on Speak Silence, and Empty sounds like a Caretaker/Badalementi over sparse techno drums. Still, the highlights come when Drumcell is at his most restrained. Fragmenter is a minimal analog wonder, little more than an acidic bassline with dubby synth accents. Frame Shelter's distorted motifs and train track samples build up to a single organ stab that feels revelatory in context. LA techno at its finest.
