In essence, the concept of a reality tunnel relates to an idea on how we create our own perspective – the subjective filter that we each apply to the world around us; the things we perceive and what our consciousness deems worthy of attention, IE what we see and hear is entirely relative to what we do not. \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt points angular and uncompromising with levels in the red, frequencies pushed out and EQ curves stretched into strange new shapes, Pinch mixes both low and hi fi on this boldly distinct sonic statement.

I spent hours and hours trying to get the particular sonic I wanted - layering microscopic sounds in the background textures, processing sounds and so on. In the end it became something of an obsession in me to get it right - hence my changing the title from 'The Possession' to 'Obsession (The Possession)'.\"'Obsession (The Possession)' begins with a weighty pounding 4\/4 kick pummelling forward, re-pitching every other 8 bars and building percussion along the route. 32 bars in and an eerie demonic mist starts to form, cloudy and hypnotising before a series of psychotic bass stabs cut in, unleashing a barrage of unhinged percussive hits and terrifying sonics. On remix duties is none other than one of the most talented figures in contemporary techno - a man who goes by many different guises but is still best known as Shed.
