Wasteland: All Versus All
ByThe set is largely vibrant, due to the duo's upbeat rhythmic extrapolations. The musicians periodically render a sonic hall of doom, offset with cyclical motifs and expansive synth swashes. Besides the focus on EFX, these gents infuse the human element through soul-stirring themes. On the title piece, they dish out a meditative trance-like component, spiced up with eerie sounds and a gushing, waterfall soundscape.
Here and elsewhere during this studio set, the duo merges notions of paranormal dialogues, conveying an overall sense of living dangerously. However, the artists' creative mindset intimates that's all in good funtheir musical scope is not firmly rooted within an ascetic state of being. In sum, this album presents quite a few thought-provoking frameworks, coupled with tangible grooves where '70s style electronics stylizations receive a contemporary uplift.
