The ominous ambience and conservative yet chill rainy-day house jam that kick things off ain't bad, but I'm relieved when what follows is more stark+stringent and brings on dat thump. Prolonged like most house and kinda sounding like most house too, but ooo the sturdy subdued grooves and moody doing-much-with-a-little adornments are strong with this one. A rich marriage of trance-dance-mechanical with no need to complicate things made with an ear for moving-n-meticulous-n-mysterious textures. Slight Special Touches include the feathery palm pats of "Atlantis", the "Platoon RLX" duo's cryptic and haphazardly looped dialogue, and the title track's bursts of robot breath.
