akkord: hth030

Sacred geometry, complex polyrhythms and clinical sound design all collide in the work of Manchester outfit, Akkord, who selected two of their favorite artists to reinterpret their HTH020 EP. The results are breathtaking -- powerful and utterly ferocious. Tri-Angle Records' The Haxan Cloak dissected elements from all four tracks on HTH020, reassembling them into a 10-minute masterpiece, a wall of sound that defies classification. Meanwhile, Hospital Productions label-boss Vatican Shadow assembles parts of "Typeface" and "Greyscale" along with his own sounds to create an intricate, ominous techno trip.
