Third of 3 12"s which will make up the debut album from Cyrus (Random Trio). "Fans of serious bottom-end and darkside dub vibes will not be disappointed here, with Cyrus clearly making his defnition of dystopian dubstep apparent. "Dark Future" rolls in laden with impending dread, utilising a nasty sci-fi techno riff to signify his intentions, before skanking out with a sweetly syncopated steppers beat while tight riffin subs carry the melody. Cyrus fully explores a more refinied darkside on the flip with the subtle jazz influence of "Crying game" allowing a lonely sax line to creep into the mix alongside splashing hi-hats, before title track draws very reasonable comparisons to A.G.C.G"s Black Secret Technology, by hollowing out the post hardcore/pre-jungle breaks but filling the vacuum with bass and the warmth of jazz optimism, walking a tight precipice between cheese and greatness but thankfully falling very much onto the right side for it"s subtle restraint and application."
