Two massive stormers of equal power on the same piece of vinyl ...Aren't we lucky ?!A menacing layer sets the scene for DIGITAL SYMPHONY, quickly turning into a fast thrill-ride made of two complementary sections. At first with the malignant bass and driving steps stressed by the sound of gloomy chords overwhelming the mid range under their repeated resonance.Then it is replaced by swirling tinklings in stereo motion while the drums get a bit subdued, yet keeping the mood steady as well as the tempo.Eventually the two episods merge before all things fall together into one single train of filtered kicks, as if the track was reabsorbing itself !!Fat job. BAD AMBITIONS is more epic indeed and sized to make the dullest crowd upset ...After some efficient atmospherics (a short echoing phrase of keyboard combined with melodramatic strings) and a sampled voice giving its own definition of "d'n'b business", cool things are on ...Drums off, a thick bassline slowly rises, born from a pair of riffs, one becoming the pulse for the other, before blowing into a kind of heavy metal robotic hook with snares full on !!In fact the wrath and nearly hate that track displays overrun those of DIGITAL SYMPHONY.As if it couldn't be enough, it is increased by regular blasts of seismic organ tone which halo fills the high and mid registers like dark fireworks ... Beware, Pendulum's fans, stay clear !This is the all mighty darkstep current at its purest and back with a vengeance ...!!

Pretty good release from Subwave on Tech Itch, especially Side A (Bad Ambition) with heavy industrial drums, killer bass and an inhuman but dancefloor massive synth. Side B (Digital Symphony) is also sounds great, but it's simply too weak compared to the flipside.
