Ruud hits hard with this release. "Black Sabbath" tests your patience, but when that acid line drops it crawls around in every corner of your head. Next is "Hysteresis", no doubt the best track on this slab of vinyl. Electro beats make your body pop, while a vocoder voice mumbles along nicely. But what makes this track, are the overwhelming soaring synths giving you goose bumps in places you didn't know you had. This man knows his gear in & out. The B-side continues with more electro breakbeats on "Isolation", that sounds desolate & scarce, just like it's title. "Paradox Lake" sounds a bit more hopeful through its soft & eerie pads, but still you don't feel at ease passing by this lake. Must be the paradox. "Three Faces Of Fear" closes the mini-album on a more abstract note. Here you finally come face to face with the Face of Fear.
