I am an absolute sucker for extensive tracks that evolve, change their structure, tell a story and overall keep me on my toes for the entirety of the track's length. OG darksynth is full of those and this remains the main reason why I keep coming back to the classics again and again. Evil Technology is a prime example of this style of music production and it is among the first pieces I think about whenever I need my weekly dose of sinister sound with Ariel ZB on the cover. replicant_hazard

This EP is superb. I did not expect the closing track to sound the way it does. Such an atmospheric and emotional sound, it really turns the rest of the EP up to eleven. zWarhead
