Gridlock broke up but the project's leader Mike Wells from time to time can be met in public. Now in the role of mastering-engineer of the project Ginormous of the album The Endless Procession. The release itself as well as the project's music are very original. You can listen to such music without pauses, besides energetic charge and drive it includes various melodical experiments and interesting acoustic backing. Deliberate album with its own theme and high-qualified representation of the material. It would be great if the number of such releases increases, but unfortunately the number of such talented musicians is limited.The mood of the album is set starting from the first composition "Begin With The End In Mind" - a listener meets the mixture of idm on the basis of hip-hop and memorable fixed melody. The second track - "Byproducts Of Stress And Boredom". If you didn't know that motherland of idm is hip-hop culture, well, congratulations, now you know it. Surprising is the fact that Autechre as well as a great number of other musicians started their creative work with hip-hop records. The album The Endless Procession can be listened to wothout a pause, well-polished sound. Irreproachable work with sound. In composition "Seek First To Understand" the musician shows up his extraordinary innovations. Ambient together with perverted drums.
"Then To Be Understood" - the result of professional Mike Wells's mastering - very dense sound with weightful rhythms similar to Gridlok's works. Absolutely hit track, when played on a big dance floor this sound can fill the auditorium with endless energy. Powerful work!
"A Mountain People Can Always Climb" - the last breathtaking composition leaving very pleasant feeling of good mood. The title of the track is also very impressive. Most of all I liked the slight semitones at the end of the album. Each time listening to it you want to do that once more.
