For Rich Machin and Ian Glover, a lifetime feasting on dark mystical American music has provided a passport for further adventures into the murk. This strikingly atmospheric second album by the highly-rated remix team offers a mood palette from electro noir ("Arizona Bay") to gospel ("Revival"). Will Oldham, Josh Haden and Doves’ Jimi Goodwin are on hand to add depth, character and colour, while an extensive link up with Mark Lanegan sees him emerge as a Johnny Cash for the post digital, post nuclear age.
