    Caged Element - Territoriality (LSL021)

    in New & Upcoming Releases

    Posted · Edited by Pirtek

    Hi everyone. My first full length album, Territoriality is out now. Hope you enjoy it.

    Cheers!

     

    Building where he left off with the cyberpunk aesthetic of last year’s Ascension, Caged Element (Paul Bolstridge of Pirtek and Concealed Sequence), takes us along for another installment of moody techno with Territoriality. Where the former felt more like a trip aboard a spacecraft depicted on its artwork, this new outing offers a patchwork of cinematic vignettes in a city which could plausibly feel either extraterrestrial or like a bleak chapter of Earth’s history. “Monumental Axis” continues to build on the sense of scale hinted at in its name. “Lost Transmission” feels both like the last glimmer of hope and a hint as to where things went awry. “Consumed” and “Equilibrium” bookend the starkly titled “Ghost City”, as we are launched into the heart of the album with Bolstridge’s penchant for filmic atmospheres on full display. Inversion wastes no time, beginning full tilt into the murk. Closing number “Metallurgical” is almost but not quite a reprise of opener “Deprivation”, and ends on a cliffhanger. Although much of Territoriality excels in the narrative home listening variety of techno, there are certainly moments with dancefloor potential, balanced by cinematic sequences.

    Final act is at break neck pace, it feels disjointed in places. I wonder what was left on the cutting room floor?

    I know what you mean. Probably needed the reigns pulling ever so slightly. I also agree with your hidden comments.

    Christopher Walken - He jars in this. 

    I quite liked his take on the Emperor. Very subtle and not over the top type. Like a sympathetic villain.

    Watch this alternative version with deleted scenes included. New Dune is almost entirely comparable to this alternative version. 
     

     

    I watched this version not too long ago

    They brought back Sienkiewicz, nice. He did a great job in the 80s adaptation.
