“Coma Beach’s 'I Won’t Listen' cuts like shards of broken glass — four violent jolts of punk rock refusal and post-punk gloom.”
Raging against the digital and the existential: I Ya Toyah's Closer transforms Nine Inch Nails' iconic track into a haunting industrial-cinematic meditation on validation and lost identity, while PAHL!'s Digital Oblivion blends icy 90s electro-industrial with dark-pop to ask "what remains of us when everything turns digital?" Coma Beach's A Madman's Dream/Mind Descending fuses punk's feral bite with post-punk's cold precision, steeped in Beckett and Schopenhauer. Jacob's Fall's Lost In Silence channels melancholy, inner struggle and dark atmospheric rock into something intensely elegiac, while John Titor's Time Machine's It's Time to Bounce, Amigo! keeps it proggy, industrial, groovy and crass — a punk odyssey shaped by Pixies and DAF.

“A remarkable conceptual album where found writings become an intimate journey through art rock, progressive music and experimental songwriting.”
