Industrial grossness of the non-destructive variety. This album almost sounds like it’s polluting the atmosphere, a cloud of grey-green smoke emanating from a decades-old smokestack. It’s the soundtrack that will be playing in 500 years when humans return to the destroyed Earth we leave behind, diving into the smog in hazmat space suits. I’ve worked with a lot of industrial robots and trust me, this is the music they listen to when they’re off shift (Aphex Twin is what they prefer during work hours, I hear).

From the roundup Jamwise #49 - Best of 1996.
