Various Artists - Vivendum 5 [Further Sessions]

The liner notes accompanying this new collection from Fur:ther Sessions feature a quote from the Latin thinker Cicero: “We must live to enjoy the freedom that may benefit our friends and harm no one.” It is, without a doubt, something to ponder as you lose yourself in the deeply immersive techno it brings. Psyk's aptly titled track, Static Drift, bubbles with a microscopic sense of electrical activity, while Shoal's Backflash, deep, fast, and meditative, swirls with cosmic waves. Beyond The Veil Of Sleep, by Blazej Malinowski, has a darker core thanks to the twisted synth phrases that slither throughout, and Save Your Atoll lets in some melodic light in his mountainous and hallucinogenic piece Psyop. Intelligent material for both mind and movement.
