– General Description: This is fine for electronic distortion manipulation. All tracks written and produced by Fabrizio Matrone who “enjoys all beauty of smashed frequencies and tones.” Considered to be a continuation of Matter's Biorhexistasy LP.
– FCC Compliant: YES
– Recommended Tracks: 2, 5, 9
– Track Reviews:
1. (4:31) Fluid - washing of raspy sounds with bass building underneath, then bass with punctuating sounds above
2. **(5:27) Depth - immediate throbbing beat, call-and-response feeling, nice dance music
3. (5:31) Surge - pulsating strikes of sound with shifting panning, industrial setting, snoring
4. (2:14) Maar - constant low hum with flutters of wet sounds above
5. **(4:43) Pressure - raw, grinding-winding up and sawing sounds with a beat
6. (3:05) Amplitude - swiping sounds, like a production laser saw cutting
7. (1:59) Exsolution - very quiet plopping sounds over a drone
8. (2:54) Chamber - rewinding of staccato sounds with longer sawing sounds, with a beat
9. **(2:15) Stone - sounds like Godzilla tentatively exploring Tokyo
10. (5:47) Column - thumping and switching sounds with a beat
11. (4:52) Scoria - immediate fast beat with various rewind sounds above
12. (6:22) Ash - vacuuming with a beat
