 Each track in this box set is simply glacial, a surgical and ruthless coldness, yet with a raw, dirty, metallic sound.

 Downwards and Regis created their new grammar of sound by subtracting almost everything from it, a sound reduced to the bone, a skeleton, a specter of what had been understood for techno until then.
