Microscopic, dedicated to and in memory of Dwayne Goettel, collects fierce remixes of tracks from Furnace and a number of new tracks. Quality moments abound early in the EP's running time. "Omniman (Remix)" is a sinister, pounding ride. Bubbling electronic sounds percolate most demonically, suggesting a state-of-the-art update of Goblin's darker songs in Suspiria. The sampled voice of Genesis P. Orridge mutters and rambles over what sounds like a soundtrack to Dante's Inferno. The next four songs follow a similar pattern of compelling samples, dark, warped electronic sounds, and disturbing atmosphere. The songs buzz with ample artistic taste, creating a potent industrial symphony. The only problem with the EP is that the final three tracks go on too long and sound too similar. Unfocused and lacking variation, the final songs provide only patchwork interest amid military samples, train whistles, and helicopter sound effects. The first five tracks make Microscopic entirely worthwhile, as the collaborators in Download create a sonic stew of sinister electronic sounds worthy of their resumes and worthy of companion status to Furnace. ~ Tim DiGravina
