As soon as this one gets started, you can sense the slight angst emanating from its core: you feel tense, shoulders hunched, looking around with paranoid gaze. Then eerie pads creep in and things get even more fraught, as gentle snare rolls assist in unleashing the track’s energy. It’s quite subtle yet propulsive, too. Every so often a new layer is added, increasing the depth and tension. And then, after three minutes, the breakdown comes in... bang.
