This record was tip top from start to finish. Didn't mind paying 18 euro for it cos I'd easily spend six euro on the individual tracks anyway. Well built tunes that morph and change beautifully, with some thumpin drops. They are based on a minimal template but are most definitely not minimal techno. Quite like to play this record towards the end of a set, as generally it is the jewel in the crown so to speak. I'd be delighted to find more records of this calibre.

Not a bad release at all, but I much prefer their output on the Kombination Research imprint. While the music is fairly enjoyable, it seems that in order to fit into Drumcode's catalogue, The Advent & Industrialyzer filtered out some of their music's rawness and brought a more typical, modern minimal type of techno to the table. Not to be confused here, despite the fact this perfectly falls in the category of today's trendy minimal take on techno, it's done well. Especially on Code Noir, which actually evolves from start to finish and really gives an impression that the guys actually wanted to do something more than just lay three interchanging effects over a 4x4 beat. The outcome is gorgeous, if anything by The Advent can be called that. But then the other two tracks don't really move me. They just resemble most of the stuff you hear at clubs during the weekend, be it a set by Speedy J, Adam Beyer, Dubfire, or any given local DJ from your home town... I don't intend it to sound like I'm dismissing quality here, but these tracks must sound twice as impressive if mixed into each other and played during the first hour of a set, before moving into faster and harder things.
