Gel Abril presents three big tracks with Raver. Raver from the oak-trunk kicks to the bellowing subs to the demonic down-pitched spoken sermon by way of the life-support machine rhythmic texture, is a wholly dark tech groove. Optical is a drama-raiser that fluctuates back and forth, causing every other element from the kicks right the way up to the percussion to follow it's tense pattern. Akasa taps into the EP's heritage theme with it's timeless, almost bouncy acid line. Gel establishes a tangible, physical funk with increasing percussive elements and a synth lick that gets decidedly trippy and unpredictable.
