P.A.S albums tend to come together in their own time:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“External signals and signs combine until the recipe feels right, both musically and from being ‘out there’,” Slater adds. “10 years since I released Arc Angel on Ostgut Ton, and it’s a fitting pleasure to combine live show ideas and studio work for the new album, served up with raw energy” That patience runs through his whole Ostgut catalogue; since Temporary Suspension brought its machine-tooled weight and alien feeling to the label in 2009, each P.A.S. release on Ostgut Ton has been its own quest for discovery, from The Messenger’s search for sounds not yet present in club music to Arc Angel’s focus on melody to the deep hypnosis of Plantae.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Into The Night” creates a haunting, dystopic environment of corroded acid saturated in echo, absorbing from the first second. “Labyrinth” breaks into buoyant tribal percussion, modulated chirps trading off over propulsive drums. “Quadrant 10” is clean, delay-drenched techno, buzzing with noise splatters over saturated thuds. “Sermon Of The Light Tides” scrambles metallic bell sequences that distort and evolve throughout, reminiscent of a dial-up modem crossed with a game of Frogger, squelching between percussive bursts and stripped-back kicks. “Brave Cosmo” is tormentingly menacing, eerie synths panning around buried vocal fragments over frantic percussion. “Retina Burn” rolls on fierce, cement-mixer 909 cycles, rave stabs over a ride that locks you in, the whole track stuttering and repeating before stripping back to a bare echoing kick and building itself again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e “Thunder Major” barrels on open hats and reverb-drenched claps ricocheting through twisting wreaths of delay, mesmeric and relentless. “Beton Brut” marches juggernaut percussion stamping through hall reverb so vast you can visualise the room, the darkest and most unrelenting track on the record. “No Ninja” crunches in metallic and immediate, a wiry plucked lead threading through glitch with the bass held low and deep, mixed so precisely you can see every layer stacked in your mind’s eye. “Ha Jam” is danceable techno with plenty of funk and a sophisticated looseness, a vocal laugh bouncing off clanging metal blocks and rave stabs. “Lynx” lowpasses its rave stabs and crystalline beeps, chirpy hats ticking, cold metal repeats, old school and mesmeric. “Generation Slip” closes everything out, ominous and churning, skittering percussion and electrical sparks rattling through steel, a freight train barrelling on into oblivion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklisting\u003cbr\u003eA1 Planetary Assault Systems Into the Night 00:04:07\u003cbr\u003eA2 Planetary Assault Systems Labyrinth 00:05:32\u003cbr\u003eB1 Planetary Assault Systems Quadrant 10 00:05:40\u003cbr\u003eB2 Planetary Assault Systems Sermon of the Light Tides 00:06:23\u003cbr\u003eC1 Planetary Assault Systems Brave Cosmo 00:05:50\u003cbr\u003eC2 Planetary Assault Systems Retina Burn 00:06:07\u003cbr\u003eD1 Planetary Assault Systems Thunder Major 00:05:55\u003cbr\u003eD2 Planetary Assault Systems Beton Brut 00:05:37\u003cbr\u003eE1 Planetary Assault Systems No Ninja 00:06:02\u003cbr\u003eE2 Planetary Assault Systems Ha Jam 00:04:44\u003cbr\u003eF1 Planetary Assault Systems Lynx 00:07:25\u003cbr\u003eF2 Planetary Assault Systems Generation Slip 00:05:21\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ostgut Ton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46997115732124,"sku":"OSTGUTLP39","price":76.93,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/OSTGUTLP39.jpg?v=1780341551","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/planetary-assault-systems-planetary-people-3lp","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
