Review by Andrew McIntosh (Special Interests)

Spreading a single spiral over thirty six minutes is not something one should attempt if one has no ideas and no talent. No such problems from Monolith.

A single tone is fluctuated heavily through slow phasing and allowed to pass through a variety of effected stages, ranging from gritty distortion to smooth, pure feedback to foggy sludge to booming, up-front speaker blow to, finally, what sounds like chains being dragged across a metal floor.

Rather than a boring going-through-the-motions of different effects it's a much more exciting manipulation of carefully chosen sounds that follow from one to the other with adequate pacing and compliment each other nicely. It's a diverse, delightful spiral that matches well the sound Monolith have on their self-titled album while not going through the same motions.

I'm still not sure how these sounds are generated which is really another advantage as there's nothing obvious to peg onto - the sound is all. It's spacious, ambitious without over-reaching, well structured and pleasurable to listen to.
