Deep, dramatic, abstracted D&B from Exits most esoteric operator, Consequence. Test Dream is an advanced follow-up to the Burial-esque scapes of his 2009 debut, Live For Never, scanning Sci-fi inspired minimal D&B topographies with a filigree attention to detail. Ultimately, its not the kind of D&B thatll have you firing shots in the ceiling: its strengths lie in the vivid evocation of dystopian futures and plugged-in, cyber-surreal dream states, conducted with the ability to suspend disbelief and submerge the willing participant in a whole other headspace. That said, there are dancefloor-ready moments like the sinuous, sub-heavy Soul Sees Spirit, but the best moments occur when the dancefloor seems to be receding beneath your feet / sofa, as with the whirring Autechre-ian dynamics of Magda Trench and the majestic Loveshell, or the flickering, skeletal remains of Marlo.
