A Brutalist Dystopian Society Part 2 – Mord LP 05

Sometimes you’ve just got to point things out for what they are. Brussels-based, French born UFO95 does so impressively on the second instalment of his brutalist architecture-inspired series, framing producer and DJ as alien abductee and diagnosing the current world state from an extranormal perspective. Techno with narrative suffers much unfair derision, so this album is very welcome: the saturated ambience of ‘Dystopie’ sounds like a Heptapod’s warning blasted over glacier valleys, while everything from there is an invasion in churning waves: ‘Resolution 2’, ‘Meditation 1’ and ‘Pulsation 1’ are our favourites, like the many bulldozing arms of a self-replicating war machine.
