This is the second album by the much-hyped German dub youngster Sven Schienhammer aka Quantec on Echocord. After releasing several 12"s on labels like Styrax Leaves, Meanwhile, Snapshot and Echocord, Sven is back with another full-length album. This album contains older tracks from the year 2001 and some of his newer works from 2009. On this album, you will hear many of Sven's personal favorites. Cauldron Subsidence is not entirely the typical Quantec sound -- and it's absolutely different than his last album on Echocord. This is brooding dub-techno, laced with the remnants of dubstep. "Absolute Level" combines a rolling crash cymbal with a trippy Detroit-ish melody (a la Kenny Larkin). The classic strings throughout "Satisfied" ripple with a rolling broken beat and strains of vocals throughout, shedding new light on the classic Chain Reaction sound of yesterday. Slo-mo dubstep crooner "Transmitters" glides and floats through the broken beat and smoky haze of dub infiltration. A true accomplishment from one of today's most accomplished electronic dub producers out there.
