After the release of Dissidænce (Episode 1), warmly met with both critical and popular success, Vitalic keeps his promise and returns with a second instalment, darker and more techno than the first, and this time with a marked industrial aesthetic -- cold and minimal. The composition and production style have a post-cold wave heritage, something that has always been part of the artist's DNA but is now brandished with renewed pride. Dissidænce (Episode 2) opens with "Sirens", a towering tornado of synths and sweat, followed by "Dancing in the Street", "The Void", and "The Light is a Train", sparse techno boiled down to its essence -- mechanical, cold, and alarming. Tempering this hostility are moments of grace and poetry like "Marching", "Friends & Foes", and "Winter is Coming", both melodic and melancholic. A two-pronged project masterfully orchestrated by Vitalic, a strange cosmic voyage of implacable energy. 180 gram vinyl; includes download code.
