"Pure Motorised Instinct drives over to Dark Entries with At Last I'm Leaving the Earth, an LP of industrial-tinged ambient and new age. When legendary industrial outfit Nagamatzu went dormant in 1991, band member Stephen Jarvis moved forward with Pure Motorised Instinct, a name he pulled from a line in George Romero's Dawn of the Dead. Throughout two cassette albums -- 1991's Between Intimacy and Elsewhere, and 1993's Everything Is True -- Jarvis pushed the Nagamatzu spirit in new directions. At Last I'm Leaving the Earth collects nine tracks from this era, which are appearing on vinyl for the first time, along with three additional tracks. The material here sits between the brooding and the optimistic, the claustrophobic and the soporific. Jarvis's digital synths are pushed so far into tape-scuffed terrain that they talk and squawk analog-like, scurrying with vibrant curiosity. The late-night vibes peak on pieces like 'Vincent V,' with its reverb-drenched digital drum machines, or 'Geek,' which taps into a wide-eyed proto-vaporwave zone. At Last I'm Leaving the Earth is Black Lodge ambient for the empty set."
