Arcology

A narrative of an imagined alien colony existing between the fabric of known / unknown worlds, Thug Entrancer's Arcology explores high tech / low life society, mechanical structures, and data-driven humanity in an evocative techno framework. Though 'Arcology' was conceived in a similar improvisational womb as Ryan McRyhew's debut, the new album moves subtly from free-form footworkouts of 'Death After Life' with an expanded palette vibrating brightly with melodic deployment. 'Curaga' and 'Exo-Memory' triumph over established 303 / 808 interplay with uplifting melodies - ear-worms from outer space; 'Bronze' pumps dub-tectonics within a minimalist reduction of 'Death After Life's modus operandi. Lighter than most of McRyhew's output, album interludes 'Low-Life', 'VR-Urge' and the finale, 'Xeno', beam satellite ballads through alien atmospheres.2LP -  Gatefold jacket with matte finish, vinyl cut at 33 rpm, mastered by Andreas (LUPO) Lubich at Calyx Mastering house in Berlin, DE.
