Review: Parisian label Public System Recordings present the latest in the synth-heavy sludgedown from their camp, inviting a new cast of characters into the 'dungeon dance'. The common theme throughout this sampler seems to be wide, slowed down melancholia: some tracks take a floor-friendly jump, while others demand the attentive consumption of a more serene setting. A collection of dynamic, chugging, and forward thinking jams that make you mesh all things the label is passionate about. The LIES/Russian Torrent Versions affiliated NGLY continues with his gritty explorations in EBM on "Hell Ride", likewise Frenchman Trenton Chase pursues classic industrial aesthetics on "Narked", Circling Vultures - a project featuring Chicago veteran Justin Long delivers the rather frightful theatrics of "Frothing Over The Fruit Of Original Sin" while Joshua Cordova & Sam De La Rosa do their best impression of Silent Servant (with gothy vocals) on "El Gusano Pendejito".
