Taking a nod from such dub masters as Scorn, DR:OP:FR:AM+E mix slow,
calculating drum beats, obscure samples, and subtle atmospheres. The music is
at times ploddingly slow while at others blindingly fast. Yet, the music always
remains stark and minimal as if trying to make the most of minimal number of
musical elements. The only vocals on the album belong to samples from such
diverse sources as answering machines, political propaganda, classic and modern
films. This includes some of my favorite lines from "The Prophecy" on
'Bad:Angel'. My only complaint with this seven song demo is that while it
wanders all over slow, mid and uptempo arrangements, the tracks are not
sequenced in an order that flows well. It is my opinion, at least, that it is
a bit jarring to double a cadence between tracks without any type of real
transition.
