Review: It's been a long time between drinks for Alpha Delta Division, the little-known partnership of Marcus Butavicius and Theo Babacas. Remarkably, Outer Rim is their first single since 1999, when they delivered a double-pack of sleazy, late night TB-303 techno on Dirty Acid Tracks. As comebacks go, it's pretty good. There's something particularly dirty, sweaty and metallic about the hypnotic flipside "Region 114"; although they've abandoned the trademark acid lines, it has a similarly intoxicating feel to their previous work. Even better is A-side "Outer Rim", which sees the duo peppering a titanium clad, kick drum-driven techno groove with hazy audio textures, intergalactic electronics and drifting melody lines.
