Review: 20 years deep and still way ahead of their time; Optical's "To Shape The Future" was a perfectly fitting title. Alien, unnerving and uncompromised; if you were lost in space, this would be the soundtrack. "Raging Calm" follows with its concrete breaks and spooky jazz textures that nod heavily at the foundations of Detroit in both sound and atmosphere. Finally we have Optical's brother Matrix with beautiful ambient composition "Undersea Flight". All remastered, all relevant, all reminders of where we were heading when the very idea of 2017 seemed like a bizarre, far-away concept.
