(11) Mojib - Break of Dawn - Electronic Explorations version - [white] —- A new sign of life from Wales - John and Paul Healy, well-known as Somatic Responses produced a new full-time masterpiece of electronic sound wizardry. almost two years have passed since Giauzar and it seems the brothers used their time not only for the explorations of new tonal and atonal scapes, they also went for a re-analysis of their roots. The digital darkness described here is a dry, drawn out universe of distorted chromatic basses,
straightened heavy beats and swirling filter pulses, establishing ties from the times when the tb-303took over technoid music up to the nineties where speed increased and rhythms became dodgier. Stylistic classifications were never somatic responses’ aim, nevertheless, digital darkness might berated as one of their most straight-lined works since years - f.e. you never heard s.r. as speedy as they are on the title track or ‘reset the world’. their typical ingredients like unique strings usage are still present (’stranded’), the enrichment with some blasts from the past makes digital darkness a mixture which will kick your eardrums in.
