142 BPM Review: Outline is Dying & Barakat's third appearance on Knotweed, and once again, it showcases their deep, dance floor-focused take on techno. "Blinded Eyes" resounds to a rolling groove and atmospheric synth melodies, a near perfect balance of weight and depth. "Time to Expand" is a more ominous take on this vision - the kicks are tougher and the synths bristle with menace. The duo also draws on dub influences. "Complex" features chord-heavy textures and clicking drums, with a succession of breakdowns adding to the suspense. The title track provides a fitting finale, as sweeping chords surge over a powerful, rolling rhythm.
