Remain Silent
Dislocation

Like the Afghan-Pakistani border, the line between IDM and industrial musics is pretty porous these days, and Remain Silent is another talented infiltrator. Nothing terribly revolutionary going on here, though--no vocals, not much in the way of melody, just straight-ahead beats, dark synth, and samples, evocative of the by-now clichéd Matrix-like landscape depicted on the cover.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that it's utterly generic, but it's done so well, you almost forget how generic it is. A lot like your average New York pizza slice. (Damn, I miss that.)
