This release marks the return of Different State with new music after several reissues on Zoharum. While the other project by Marek Marchoff, 23Threads, has a clear sound, "Enormous Components of Motor Unit" is characterized by raw, and almost low-fi, textures so the music in an intermediate state between the song form and the experimental one.
The linear crescendo in amplitude of the static framework of "Motor Unit" introduces the listener towards "Electricus" where the voice of Ingrid Swen balances the noisy and mechanical accompaniment. "Knar | Rank" proceeds by accumulation with a mechanical beats, samples and loops until in the final part distorted note of bass closes the track. "Within" is almost a catchy pop tune based on the voice of Marek Marchoff upon a danceable loop. With a cleaner sound "Mental" is an incursion on psychedelic rock territories while "Additional Components" in post industrial one with a more claustrophile sound. "An Absolute Necessity" alternates hypnotic resonances with noisy interludes while "Effector (Zenial)" closes this release with a quiet atmospheric introduction to a main part based on a metallic beat and distant voices.
While it's not exactly easy listening, the wandering among genres implicates a multifaceted listening experience that will mainly be enjoyed by fans of industrial music but could well draw a larger audience. Recommended.
