For:Fans of drum & bass, electronic rock and genre-blending electronic music

 The mission of Pendulum since 2002, the year of their formation when they were still a trio (consisting of Rob Swire, Gareth McGilleth, and Paul "El Hornet" as lead vocalist/synth player, bassist, and keyboardist/DJ in the current line-up), has always been to rejuvenate the complex world of DnB, which has been in decline.

 If the previous "Hold Your Color" had been a breath of fresh air for the Drum & Bass scene, bringing into the spotlight a genre in slight decline, this "In Silico" highlights the elements of the group's music that the genre purists criticized at their debut.

 "Immersion" is the third and last album, since the band has split up, with two of the main members Rob Swire (vocals, keyboard, production) and Gareth McGrillen (bass, backing vocals, DJ) having started a new project with Knife Party, moving away somewhat from the previous band's sound towards a sound closer to dubstep and house and leaving me, from what little I know, quite cold.
