Review: When it comes to quality and quantity, few electro producers can match Umwelt. For his latest release, he returns to Shipwrec, a label that he has forged close links with over the years. Umwelt's signature, acid-drenched sound is audible on the dense, rolling rhythms of "Galactic Empire" and "Day Zero" - the latter track spirals into frazzled cacophony of 303s. "Reflectivity" is more subdued but no less ominous, as Umwelt shifts his focus to dystopian synth sweeps and crashing snares. "Redemption Ark" continues to explore this mood, albeit realised as a dramatic ambient composition. However, for pure apocalyptic thrills, the shrieking, feedback-drenched title track is peerless.

Review: Umwelt has been releasing rave-friendly electro since the late 90s, impervious to the flows and ebbs of fashion. The French producer's first album in a decade continues to mine this approach. For those who want to recreate the atmosphere of an illegal gathering, there's the nocturnal, end of days acid of the title track and the aptly-named "Citadel Of The Chao', while "World Shatters" pushes the listener into a nightmarish world where eerie synths and waves of monstrous bass prevail. Umwelt doesn't offer a mellow alternative, but there is a more atmospheric side to his work, audible on "Factory Of Death" and "Non Conformity" . However, this soon fades as the droning, bone-crushing Revolt - and "End of Light" lurch into earshot.

Review: There's a great meeting of minds on the latest release for the long-running Zodiak Commune, with Umwelt and Serge Geyzel both delivering two club tracks. Starting with the fast-paced rhythm and frazzled, burning acid line of "The Wake Of The Anthropocene", Umwelt lays down an intense mantle, while on "Cosmic Dancer", the veteran French producer opts for a slightly less frenetic approach. That said, the blistering 303s, combined with noisy percussion, ensure that "Dancer" is an energy-filled affair. Geyzel's contributions aren't as an intense, but the ominous bass and 303 sequences on "Off the Ground" carries with them an effective ebm-style backdrop, while "Hostage" is a gnarly acid techno workout.
