3.5 avg from 10 ratings is rediculously low for this fantastic album. I'm convinced a good portion of emusic.com listeners wouldn't know good music if it walked up to them and smacked them in the face screaming "Hi there! I'm good music! Nice to meet you!". Anyway this is a great album if you are a fan of IDM and the darker more meloncholic side of ambient/downtempo.
i hate to put the word 'industrial' up there, but there's no denying the fuzzed-out beats and noisy blasts that permeate Stendeck's latest release evoke "Last Rights" era Skinny Puppy and its contemporaries. What lifts the album's mood from harshness into something approaching the sublime is Stendeck's skill with melody and texture. Emotional, polished release, a must-get for fans of Gridlock, Architect, and Keef Baker.
