This veteran Russian duo with releases on Hau Ruck!, Der Angriff and Kultfront returns with an unexpected and initially disorienting work.

"Thresholds" incorporates dynamic rhythmic constructions into their icy ambient and mechanized drones, giving us a hybrid blend of industrial techno that wouldn't sound out of place on a Kangding Ray record or a CLR mix and of the sort of dramatic electro-industrial ("Pain") you'd hear on Chu Ishikawa's less percussive tracks if they were re-interpreted by Reutoff. What could have easily been a tedious entryist mess ends up being a successful step in a different direction, past a new set of thresholds.
