Bromsgrove/UK brings us Steven Crompton, who has been producing as Barbarix for a considerable time, encompassing a multitude of electronic styles.
The rhythmic tracks on his first (!) ep contain some very subtle dubstep (greatly soothing underlying bass) and idm influences, while the more abstract scenes (such as the title track) present a dark world of supernatural impressions. All wrapped up with an ear for production and attention to detail.
A solid, filmic, impactful ep from someone who's been gaining attention on BBC Radio 1's Mary-Anne Hobbs show and Rob Booth's Electronic Explorations. Rightfully so.
