Atonement marks the return of Final Cut onto the music scene after almost four
years of dormancy. Numerous issues varying from being dropped from their
previous label as well as being unable to find a new label for their this album
hampered their return until now. Fan accustomed to the house influence of their
older releases should be warned this album is quite unlike anything else they
have ever released. This album is a true "Atonement" for the past four years
and the band has remade itself musically almost from the ground up. Tony Srock
having grown up in the middle of the Detroit techno scene as a lone white DJ in
a primarily black music scene has donated his own unique funk to this album.
The end result is a thickly layered collection of ethnic percussion and string
arrangements mixed with more modern drum & bass electronics and heavily subdued
guitars. This new album has pushed Final Cut to new musical ground in an effort
to shed the problems of their past and has succeeded marvelously better than
even perhaps they had intended.
