this needs a reissue, quickly, please and thank you very much

"Bike" is a very short piece which, rhythmically, is almost Ragga-like. Interesting contrast of warm deep and more harsh sounds. "Fuss" is a nice claustrophobic exploration of exotic patterns and deep, shadow-engulfed, foreboding places. Machine rigidity combines with complex drum composition. "Stuck" once again explores a mood realm where you might bump into SCORN circa "Logghi Barogghi", strange, cloying atmospheres and rhythmic devices always on the verge of dissolution. DOWNWARDS venture into mood music without total compromise, and succeed with honours. Originally reviewed for Metamorphic Journeyman.
