The sixth compilation of mutated machine music from Contort Yourself centres around British industrial pioneers Nocturnal Emissions.

L.I.E.S. main man Ron Morelli under the guise of U-202 takes on the static of the '83 original, lonesome rhythms fired into a gaping hollow of echo and decay. There is brief respite, very brief, coming in the haunted strings of Penelope's Fiance. Torrent grinds this short break into dust with EXE 2 Blueprint, a sludge stomper drowned in distortion and dripping with distress. Innsyter (L.A. Club Resource), aka Seixlack, calls time with the hazy house bottle smasher; think fog machines and bodies in the dark and you're getting close. Off-kilter madness all-round!
