Polar Inertia - Indirect Light cover
RA Review
Indirect Light is a fitting title for Polar Inertia's production debut on the French label Dement3d. Whoever is behind the project has a knack for summoning the aural equivalent of light, darkness and whatever lies in between. You may want to first head to the title track on the outer edge of the..

This is good. Anyone know which movie Indirect Light samples? The voice sounds really familiar.

The voices in Indirect Light sound so familiar... but its original material. As is the video.
French techno never died, it was just hiding...
You should also check out the new Construct Reform release with Voiski, same family!

Black Sun is AMAZING


F*ck tomorrow, let's drink champagne!
This a brilliant, brilliant release, on a label that is starting to look like a serious contender. DSCRD´s EP from last year was extremely good too.

Nice review and Sole Star is my fav also, it´s an all-engulfing beast of a track.

I'll go as far as calling this EP of the year so far. It's dark, it's fresh, it's mysterious, it sends a message. It's simply perfect.

"I was a somewhat naive research assistant when the project began
Hailing blood samples, comparing classified EMG scans, even making coffee
First time I saw those boys....that I do remember quite well.
Most of these tests can only be carried out while the subject is in a deep sleep
But the boys had a hard time reaching the R.E.M stage due to the high anxieties

One of my duties became injecting them with neuroleptics just to get them to calm down so we could get a proper reading
To see what they could see
Once, while I was preparing their doses, one of them turned to me and asked:
"You like what you're doing here?"and the other one responded for me:
"Of course he doesn't"

Casual conversation wasn't exactly encouraged at the facility, but I began to make contact with the boys
And I know they weren't very happy to be there
Whereas once they had regulary explored every extremity of their senses
In a profoundly intense and outerwordly dream state
Ever since our machine started dredging through their thought patterns
That playing field had completely deteliorated
In fact, you had to generate it into a horrific prison of suffocating nightmares and aggitation that filled these drug induced slumber

I witnessed the power they'd harnested
The very reasons why'd been confined there, but somehow, I became a part of their journey
Decided to was my hands of that filthy job and take them with me
And I helped them escape the lab, the experiments
And from the I learned a hell of a lot about the Polar Children
Their instruction led me to abandon the life that I will never look back on

They saved me

Just like they'll save the others..and all of you
It's under a shadow of obscurity that humans grow, through pain, in times of doubt, their greatness relvealed
When if magnificent and shining, humans lose sight
By the fall of night it's true nature manifests, when all is stripped down to its raw essence

We will bring about the ultimate obscurity. We will present this indirect light.

Those were the words of the Polar Children as we began our journey"

I don't know why, but I'm still struggling to accept this. Was the vocalist trying to sound like a particular American actor (I still can't quite place who exactly and it's killing me) or is that just his natural voice and cadence? Either way, he did an amazing job.

Anyway, I've been listening to this EP for a while now and I've gotta say I severely underrated it by merely calling it "good". This is great. With this and the equally excellent, yet quite different, DSCRD EP, Dement3d is now one of my favourite young labels.
