Artifact Shore
"Artifact Shore"

Mediocre minimalist techno. Some rock elements are integrated with tepid results in track 3. For the most part, the tracks lack texture and content. If there is a "best," it would have to be 4, although 3 has a nice epic sound. No FCC's

1) (7:57) Nothing but chimes until 0:44. A beat comes at 2:10 with some texture at 3:30. A slow song with almost no content.

2) (5:43) Hip-hop beats and metallic textures. Around 1:30 picks up a Massive Attack groove.

3) (4:53) Crunchy with some drums, electric guitar melody behind. The track has a hypnotic post-rock feel.

4) (9:38) Deep drums under a striped down, three-layer melody. The track gets an infusion of energy around 8:00, as an album finale.
