The second full-length collaboration between Kush Arora (Only Now) and Lucas Patzek (Orogen) runs as a deep and slow series of bass rolls, gutpunches, atmospherics and effects, that feels like the very darkest elements of EDM have been untethered from their dance music moorings and allowed to go and live rough in a cave.

There are echoes of a more structured, underground vibe, such as the pitched-and-sped-up choral sounds in part one (somewhat “Rites Of Mu”-esque), or the metal-tinged building pulses and remnants of an industrial breakbeat in part three. However it can also detach itself completely from rhythm and even drama, such as in the soft sandpapery ambient washes that constitute part two, or the breathier waves of part six that feel like a sombre night at a dark beach.

A more cinematic flavour grows through the gentle arpeggios of part four into the atmospheric, if slightly on-the-noise, low choral chanting sounds of part five.

It’s a relatively short release- six numbered parts, totalling 33 minutes, but it’s supplemented by a 31-minute “megamix”. The term megamix seems almost comical here, bringing to mind superstar DJ’s, but instead it’s the same six pieces but sensitively sequenced together (and at times barely overlapped) into a single listening experience. As a single ambient journey it doesn’t take a particularly obvious route, or follow one single progression, but it does continue consistent with the soundtrack-y flavour.

The textures and production are top notch and it’s got more than enough character to make it engagingly weird and immersive. A very unusual electronica dive that deserves your attention, and all of it when listening.
