Past the Mark’s proficiency in marrying prominent guitar riffs with electronic accents and layers lends itself to longer compositions, something which this reviewer hopes for in the collaboration’s future. Post-rock, after all, can get away with being epic.

Kinetik 4.0
Kinetik 4.0 did not fail to quench the thirst of synthetic music lovers traveling from far and wide. By the time it was over, many were already lamenting the end of the event and thinking ahead to the next Kinetik, as well as speculating on the possibility of other festivals forming.
Wieloryb – Empty
Wierloyb brings you a release with plenty of powerful, booming and rhythmic noises and beats – as would be expected for something released on the Hands label. Though some of the material can be a bit repetitive, the album never seems to become mundane or boring and most of the tracks are short enough not to lose interest.
Orphx – Radiotherapy
“Radiotherapy” is a subtle, somehow fragile, blend of simultaneously complex and simple rhythmic elements; insistent blips and cracks emerge, always appealing, never irritating. Stepping down from the harder, pounding beats of albums such as “Insurgent Flows”, this new work is a welcome return to the more atmospheric tones of earlier times.
Tábor Radosti – Agartta
It would have been preferable to have more original Tábor Radosti work, especially after such a long wait since the last album, but that is just one of a couple of minor complaints about what is generally a quite enjoyable piece of very dark electronica.
