Excerpts from the album. Now available at Experimedia.net.* “Although Rrose’s alma mater record label Sandwell District may now be defunct, the actively ambiguous American producer shows no signs of slowing down. After launching his own experimental techno label Eaux earlier this year and making true-to-name appearances dressed as a sophisticated, chic female, Rrose has continued to pursue elusiveness while ironically garnering an enthusiastic following amongst techno purists. Without a doubt, the release of “Wedge of Chastity” will further reinforce the sonic niche that the Eaux label has carved out for itself.

Anyone lucky enough to have caught a recent live set by Rrose will undoubtedly recognise the nauseating, stair-climbing madness of “Cavity.” It’s a horrifying panic attack of a song that manifests it’s unsettling effect through the use of frantically rising organ synth patterns and snappy analogue-styled claps. After five minutes of hysteria, the track seems to crumble in on itself, collapsing into an echoing void. It is clearly the stand-out track of the release.

The B side tracks of the release stumble along at a slower pace. “Envy” is a warm yet skeletal track, strung together with distorted synthetic backbone and adorned with squeamish, alien background noises. What starts as a stripped down techno track gradually blossoms into a moody strut. “Wedge” has similarly woozy flow, lethargically fading in with a distorted, slimy growl that eventually slips into resonant screams. The track chugs along with pumping, bubbling background atmospheres and broken-down rusting metal percussion, gliding forward like a locomotive through a swamp.” – Resident Advisor
