Releasenotes:
Umwelt knows his craft. From his no-nonsense acid-drenched electro assaults to
his more thought-provoking works, the Frenchman can shred speakers as well as
soothe souls. These two sides of the New Flesh boss' sound combine as he returns
to Shipwrec with the five tracks of "Collapsar". Worlds collide in the epic
"Galactic Empire". Beats are lashed with punishing acid rinses as a bold
cinematic backdrop takes form. "Collapsar" maintains the grandeur, broad
expansive chords stretching above a plain of tight percussion. A frigid
stuttering synthline introduces "Reflectivity", a line that breaks into a
horizon searching melody punctuated by crisp rhythms and arcing keys. The
breadth and depth achieved across the EP is staggering, Umwelt balancing
dancefloor electro with introspection. This immersive quality comes to the fore
in the sweeping soundtrack of "Redemption Ark". That calm is cracked wide open
with the frenetic finale. "Day Zero" incises from the outset, drums cutting into
bulwark of bass before a barrage of keys attack. Exemplary from a master.
