David Brown as S_W_Z_K offers further insights into the most recent developments of his new departure. Receiving the help of Richard Davis, the duo continues its dive into the concrete and metallic landscapes found on their eponymous LP effort (TRESOR 253CD/LP). The Variant & Empires EP, however, marks something of a departure from the obscure, experimental investigations previously undertaken. "TC4 Variant" is a roaring number, aiming specially at the dance floor, while "Second City of the Empire" unveils the deeper side of their enterprise.
