Review: Released on Dominick Prurient's own Bed Of Nails label last year, the label's inaugural release sees a deserving wider digital release. The influence of techno which was somewhat foggier in his previous records is brought to the fore on this EP; the title track, which comes in two halves, sees incisive kicks playing off against gravelly claps, with the kind of broken rhythms more characteristic of industrial UK sounds. It's something repeated on the rapid fire of "Cairo Is A Haunted City", but despite this, his music is still filled with the kind of spectral melodic explorations which unhook his more earthly beats from the physical realm into something altogether more nightmarish. The output of the Downwards imprint is obviously a reference point, but the beatless kosmische of "One Day He Heard The Call" which closes proceedings shows that there is more to his influences than a fondness for '90s Birmingham techno.
