GENRE - (EXPERIMENTAL - IDM)
A five stars debut for Adam Duckworth, the sonic material of his "Helios" results to be very balanced and elegant, important lo-fi passages alternated to effervescent idm-experimental rhythms. Gushes of panoramic effects frames pleasantly every execution. The title-track expands on tempting d'n'b rhythms and intense radiant atmospheres, enriching with onlookers pet-samples and particular micro-noise effects.
Then we find the two lo-fi/ambient tracks: "Absent" and "Verge" are stimulated by static and organic solitudes, with a pale piano and aeriform intersections. "Absent": synthetic evanescences reflected on plastic Oriental atmospheres. Elements and space creations play in the short but intense sighs of the enigmatic "Verge". Limpid experimental evocations for "Legions", a cross between warm chill-out ambiences, intrepid low-d'n'b rhythms and unstable noisescapes. 4/4 noise contorsions and bodily linearity besiege the pulses of "The Armory", anyway no violent rhythms, the author prefers still dazzle with complex gears and clicking high resolutions.
Then follows the existential cyber maneuvers of "Symbiont", aural essences on hypnotic percussive derailments. The break-ethereal krisma of Detritus falls on "Helios remix", bionic mermaids invade our sensory hazes.

Fervent cathartic dynamisms.
