ltd cd edition of the album

five years after his last album release luke slater returns to ostgut ton with a new planetary assault systems longplayer, titled arc angel. after 22 light-years luke slaterÕs planetary assault systems keeps exploring space and time with different musical means. staying true to the projectÕs initial mission statement, slater comments on the new yet familiar musical direction: Òfor me music has to go forward. iÕd feel i was cheating by sticking to tried and tested formulas. thereÕs a valid use for these, but this album has its own agenda.Ó with arc angel, planetary assault systems departs to new musical frontiers by focussing on melody, but staying rooted in the purist values of techno that slater shaped over his decades- and generations-spanning career.
