TSM marks the tenth digital release on the label and their first of 2016 with label owners The Sect delivering up two trademark tech rollers. With a host of releases slated for the coming year, across a variety of labels, the duo take advantage of home ground here to showcase a slightly more accessible take on their signature sound.
Orbiter’s serene intro belies the darkness into which this quickly descends, as the smooth pads and analogue bleeps make way for an onslaught of menacing stabs and dissonant FX, atop a rugged, driving beat and relentless, low-end pressure. More stripped-back and restrained than much of their recent output, this is certainly no less heavyweight an offering than we’ve come to expect from The Sect. Indeed, this unstoppable tech-funk juggernaut has been precision-engineered to make the moodiest of heads nod and get even the toughest of dancefloors bubbling.

The first track is somewhat educational, and i'm sure the album cover is a Dyson Sphere.
Dangerous Idea is hard to listen to at first, but it's also exactly what a dangerous idea feels like.
Immune System is my happy place ;) and the guy who's speaking in the sample sounds like Ballas in Warframe. What a shame tracks 12 & 13 aren't on the CD or vinyl. The best tracks are often excluded from physical releases, i wish that wasn't so.

There are many phat rollers here, very good album! Naoki of Nihilo
