'Prisoners features a wiggly bass led jam, plastered with synths and finished with a dash of vocoded vocals. TheAduos ability to illustrate a dense sonic picture is evident once again on 'Cell Block' as intricate razor sharp drum programming holds the ship steady while ominous synths let the head wander before rich melancholic pads blast a sense of perspective and emotive depth.A\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOnto the flip side - 'Room And Pillar'Agrabs the bull by the horns with a tough and aggressive bass line driven banger. Shrieking, twisted synth lines and FX are shattered across the track, keeping tension levels peaking, while TR808 rhythms cut through with military precision.

An entangled, ever evolving musical conversation between bass and upper register synths leads, filled with a sense of hope and optimism, assisted by meticulous programmed electro drums, reminiscent of the best of Schatraxx.A\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA1 Rise of the MachinesA\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA2 PrisonersA\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA3 Cell BlockA\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eB1 Room and Pillar\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eB2 The Neutral Zone\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eB3 Coming Home\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"20\/20 Vision","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39890464473244,"sku":"VIS 327","price":10.78,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/1_91a20803-c181-4195-9979-93ba3b476283.jpg?v=1620837239","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/lloyd-stellar-the-droid-rise-of-the-machines","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
