UltraaBriight - Roue de Fortune
Roue de Fortune plays like a summary of the past ten years of underground electronics, seamlessly transitioning between different modes like industrial noise, tranced-out beat music, and R&B glitch/sample abstraction. Everything is glued together by a sense of confidence and directness, as if each track was pulled from a collective subconscious into existence. Another unifying force would be a low key aura of foreboding; I don't want to say this is a dark or gloomy album, but even at it's most upbeat it casts an almost nihilistic shadow of modern interconnectedness.
