This new cd of Dirk Ivens and Eric van Wonterghem is very much in the same vein as the latest Dive album if you ask me, yet musicwise it has a Sonar character. The approach is a bit more minimal than on previous Sonar recordings, yet the result is more infectious and especially more hypnotising. This directly is illustrated well with the second track, titled ‘Consume’. Further highlights on this excellent industrial-noise album are ‘Bad Man’, ‘Alien Overdrive’, ‘Red Capsules’ and ‘Transfo Funk’.

Finally there are three remixes on this album, such as the remix of ‘Consume’ done by Morgenstern, who give it their distinct dark atmospheric twist, a teknoise remix of ‘Red Capsules’ by the German industrial-noise legend Marita Schreck and a punding fast and heavy remix of the titletrack ‘Alien Overdrive’ by the Belarussians of Ambassador21. Sonar proves with this album that after ten years of activity they still are among the absolute top of the current industrial scene.
