Black Faction - Manchestique Concrete EP

Released in 2002, this EP was a decade too late for the heady days of idm to which it belongs. "Widow Maker" is the main attraction here and it is such a lovely song. Crunchy slow beats and haunting ambience with big sweeping synths constantly building up and up. Beautiful, melancholic music that echoes the best that skam, boc, autechre had to offer. All credit to the artist and label for rekindling the light and leading the way back home.
