When circuits dream and machines pray: Song for a Gorgeous Blonde contorts an old demo into an unholy mixture of Downtempo, Jazztronica, and Prog — complete with a Steely Dan-esque riff lurking near the end. Vükland goes deep with heavy doom ambient in the spirit of Bongripper, while The Primary Phase Principle builds a dark electronic mythology around humanity's blind devotion to a forgotten machine — continued in the gritty, chilling sequel Collapse Of The Sightless Age. Paixomenos marches in from the Greek underground with dark synthwave, and Born In August transmits fractured memories in binary from inside a transparent prison.
