I ordered this disc to a friend of mine who went to Zurich but when I ordered I was full on raviing with hard trance and gabba and I was expecting this name Alec Empire from this storm of rave release but when the disc is arrived it took time to get used to it. But after years I realised that its not only 180 or more bpms but also ambient reality.
This album is from beginning to the end cold! really cold. And the dub makes this so deep too. I remember after years Alec Empire made a speech when mentioning this album that: You feel like in a deep hole on ice and when you look up to the sky from the hole you start freezing slowly... That is the best explanation for that album.
I simplyfy as dub meet cold and experimentalism of Alec Empire!
