Review

It's not clear whether Auckland-born, London-based Cern got his name from the institution that houses the Large Hadron Collider, but it seems possible on the basis of his sharp, beefy productions, which hit with all the impact of a particle accelerator on the Nostromo EP. The title track could well soundtrack the corridors of the ship of the same name in the Alien movie, as tense subs and atmospheric synths pepper the rolling breaks; it's a similar story on "Organism", whose warbling bass cuts through the air like ice. "Formless" meanwhile is a more frantic affair, combining footwork style rhythms with sparse textures, while "When The Time Comes" finishes off with a more traditional D&B roller filled with emotive piano chords, albeit one that rattles along like its shaking itself to pieces. Highly recommended!
