Genre/Influences:
Dark-techno,
industrial-techno.
Format:
Digital, Vinyl
(2xLP).
Background/Info:
Adam Mitchell, who
we all know in the industrial scene as Adam-X, gets back to his ‘old’ techno
project Traversable Wormhole. We might speak about a ‘comeback’ as this project
hadn’t released that new in years while “Regions Of Time” is the first official
album properly speaking.
Content:
The main basis of
the composition is definitely techno-like, but you rapidly will realize this
artist avoids cheap and classic techno clichés. The tracks have been overloaded
with elements of EBM and icy, industrial sound treatments. Even some of the
drum patters aren’t into the classical, repetitive format. This is techno music
from another dimension, which is for sure linked at the so-called sci-fi
approach of this genre by Adam Mitchell.
+ + + :
What I especially
like in this production is the way techno music has been elevated to a higher
dimension. The addition of icy- and industrial like sound treatments creates a
dark and even somewhat hostile atmosphere. Some passages are getting close to a
trance climax (cf. “Wormhole Highways”). This album reveals the true techno
sound from the underground; somewhat rough, definitely dark and accomplished
with brilliant little bleeps and noises.
– – – :
This kind of techno
music remains a challenge; some narrow-minded people will not like it because
of the ‘techno’ label while it probably sounds too ‘alternative’ for classic
techno-heads. So this is techno music for avant-garde freaks! Both debut songs
feel a bit hesitant, but what’s coming up is absolutely worth to listen.
Conclusion:
“Regions Of Time”
sounds a bit as techno from another galaxy and that’s why it also has something
visionary!
Best songs:
“Casimir Energy”,
“Vacuum Field Stress”, “Wormhole Highways”, “Rotation Frequency”.
