Substate Reactor: Isolate
- Non-Element
- Interior
- Newstate
- Infected
- Isolate and Purify
The first thing Substate Reactor needs is a good studio engineer to teach them
how to properly equalize volume levels both within the same track and from
track to track on this five song EP. The fidelity is all over the place with
'Non-Element' starting the release almost imperceptibly low while slowly
increasing in volume until your head starts to ring. While an idea like this is
great in concept, practicality dictates that you don't abuse you listener
with the entire audible range of the aural spectrum with the first track of a
release. The rest of the EP doesn't fair much better with as dizzying array of
subdued vocal samples, thundering guitars, off-key electronics and gruff
Industrial vocals. Don't get me wrong, Substate Reactor are excellent
musicians, but the volume levels on "Isolate" are so disparate that it is
almost unlistenable.
