This review is from: Transmograpification (Audio CD)

On fierce drum 'n' bass on this collaboration from Noise and Paradox. The rhythms come strong and dark, as apparent from the opening track, "Descending Azzizzium." But while the drumwork is flawless, at times it seems that that's all they have going for them. On top of the rhythm are some ambient sounds -- some snatches of sound, some EQ sweeps, some scratching, but not much more. And that seems to weaken the songs overall. "Soundtrack for the 10th Planet" has some thick atmosphere on it, but the song development is a little lacking; same goes for "Last Night on Earth": creepy mood, then repeat. "Dimension No. 9" kicks up the rhythmic interest, while the title track hums like a beehive. And the final track, "Just Begun," shifts things into more of a hip-hop mode, though the dark ambient sounds reappear nonetheless. Rhythmically inventive, definitely, but I'd like some melodic invention to go along with it as well.
