Mutal Rythm releases proper techno for proper heads. It hits a quarter of a century of releases here with Steve Redhead taking charge. The first cut is a blistering one: 'Sincfala' is like a blizzard on a frosty tundra with walls of textural synth and fizzing drums all washing over you. 'Rapidshade' is another high speed roller with some pent up funk in the drums. The machine sounds continue at pace with the cantering grover of 'Ad Valvas' and loopy, busted, underlapping intensity of 'Nusakan' which is softened only slightly by some rueful pads up top. 'Asmodeus' closes down with a deep, pulsating rhythm that keeps you on your toes.
