limited to 200 copies!! old-school italo flavoured electro with huge dancefloor appeal. reminiscent of klein & mbo and exactly the kind of stuff you can imagine getting banged at the box by ron hardy and caned by the hotmix 5 on chicagos airwaves in the early 80s.

departing from the band based setup of previous releases, acolytes continue their exploration of loop based paradigms with rupture. the release expands upon the murky jarring patchwork asthetic of the 2012 release, replacing brooding song structures with a more driving, visceral and relentless sound. 200 copies. rupture encapsulates the paranoia and agnst felt in an increasingly unrecognisable world. liquified rhythms attempt to define an unmappable headspace typified by io overload and wired hyperactivity, become mired in deep delays and sedate unease. while ostensibly computer music, tracks such as -eelings 2 deviate from the clinical on the grid sensibilities associated with the genre, where out of sync drums and synth lines in eliptic orbits take it to messier lofi territories with no defined sense of shape or tempo.

extending from the abstract and varied sound worlds exposed in the alien jams radio show and guest mixes, nervous system responds to evoked feelings of unease and anxiety, anatomical complexities, signalling networks and political uncertainty, nervous system is the first compilation to be released on alien jams and brings together tracks by rosen, xname, acolytes & alohbe, foql, rkss, ondness and recsund.

another great french minimal record this time with ark (perlon) and pit spector (prospector/circus company)
