Final part (and most sought-after) to the triptych of releases from Stefan Betke under his cherished Pole alias on Kiff SM. Perfectly joining the dots between Jamaican dub production and the emergent reductionist glitch aesthetic that was bubbling around the turn of the millennium, the ~scape boss' visionary blend of these two crucial styles results in one of the heaviest, fully-narcotised listens around. It's DEEP listening at its finest, put under the microscope to be experienced at atomic level, with each crackle and hiss sat upon vast dub chords and slowly drifting at glacial speed. Essential for fans of Rhythm & Sound, SND, Kit Clayton, Fluxion, +++. (NM - OG)
