ASC is a perfect fit for Silent Season, favouring as he does greyscale melodic content and a cerebral approach to mutant techno. Cerulean is a fine opening gambit on this 12inch, all crooked kick patterns and micro bleeps calling out into nothing, while Dimension 1010 maintains the austere approach with a slow swell of melancholic ambience over a meditative rhythm. Enchanted is no less restrained, but there s a subtle shard of light in the murmuring pad that lingers in the background. That s well and truly dealt with on the bleak beatdown Molniya, which pings bleakest techno into a black hole of sound, which is of course a wonderful thing to behold.
