"Ranking alongside such greats of confrontational electronics as Throbbing Gristle and (early) Cabaret Voltaire, as well as latterday contenders Fuxa and Add N To (X), Obscura's maverick stance is a collision of random & sporadic noise sewn into a complex web of outer-space melody, employing a multitude of diverse influences in a soundclash of ideas bound by the characteristic sound chatter unique to south London's C-PIJ towers studio. Waves of analogue drone mesh with churning rhythms, eerie disembodied voices flit ghostlike through bottomless dub caverns, simple keyboard riffs echo into infinity while dolphin clicks and sonar bleeps rise and decay in BBC radiophonic workshop doppler-effect arcs and jackhammer rhythmic loops burst open without warning . . . This is an assault on all aural receptors, a mighty sound-trip 3 years in the making (with production input and track sequencing from one Lone Swordsman)."
