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.
Tetromino is a similarly refined, yet altogether more neuro affair than Orbiter. Dreamlike pads, combined with tight synth and FX stabs get operations underway, building tension and gaining momentum as crisp beats and precise percussion roll out until the breakdown. The Sect are in stealth mode again though, as it’s at this point that things really start to get deep, dark and deadly. Pulsating bass tones and growls interchange with a fluid bass riff, evolving as the track develops - all underpinned by an unforgiving sub. Streamlined and sleek, this track is guaranteed to inject copious amounts of energy into any set.

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
