"This package continues the dance of the dispossessed, with a thick atmospheric reconstruction of a factory's death... The ultimate urban blues, a soundtrack that sounds like a manic collision between Neubauten and the Gang Of Four."
"Hammer hard beats with an ever present human touch throb along mechanically. Man and machine in perfect harmony you might say.."
