"Of all the techno releases in the current schedule of End Result Productions, this is probably the more volatile and challenging. Obligate Surrogate move into the trippy side of the genre, relishing not only the groove and vibe of techno, but enhancing it with their own mind-altering progression and take on psychedelia. Apparent tempo changes of tracks, glitch and noise moments and minimal instances, make this record move frantically between the different sub-divisions of techno. There are two elements that are essential in this crazy ride. Firstly, the use of effects, with Obligate Surrogate excelling in that aspect. Panning, delays, distortion craft this vision of instability. Secondly, the switches in mood. Aggressive, dark, playful, volatile, unstable are the epithets that just some of the tracks take (these are not mutually exclusive.) It is through the appropriate manipulation of these two aspects that this record truly thrives." - CVLT NATION, summer 2016
