    Delicious, intelligent and groovy. This is an album where relentless drum loops give architecture to mysterious sound effects. After the brief intro, "Ice" delivers echoes of picks hitting crystals through a cavernous, throbbing cave. "Black Jackal Throwbacks" goes through three phases of wicked pulsating basslines and beats, with a thematic sound effect recurring. "Returning To The Purity Of Content" is 4/4 techno with shuffling samples that sound like it is clawing backwards (IDM moment). 6:50 in, the ever-experimental Anthony Child emerges with disted efx, voice samples from old places, telephone conversations, , and tapes stutteringly fast-forwarded. The point to the dissonance is that as it dissolves into "At The Heart Of It All", the most melodic and modern-sounding of the 4 pieces on this CD, the contrast emerges. Whilst the last 3 pieces appear to explore a space before time, the final piece concludes the arc with modern-day electronica (refer to the introductory coo of synths). Beats build up the track until the synths fade off, leaving stylish beats syncopated with a busy clatter of whats-it's, to be bolstered by an electrifying low-fi doop. I hate the label IDM, but if it were to exist, this would be it in the shining form of Techno.

      While not similar to them musically, this album is a tribute of sorts to the seminal industrial/experimental group Coil:

      - "Force + Form" is the name of the label on which Coil released much of their early material.

      - The phrase "Remnants Of What Once Was" appears in the liner notes of Coil's GOLD IS THE METAL album.

      - The phrase "Black Jackal Throwbacks" was etched into the run-out groove on Coil's ANAL STAIRCASE 12".

      - "Returning to the Purity of Current" was the subtitle of a CD reissue of GOLD IS THE METAL.

      - "At The Heart of it All" is the name of a track on Coil's SCATOLOGY album.
