Sharply defining Vril's exact sound has always been tricky - over the course of his career, he's consistently delivered music that blurs the boundaries between IDM, electro, ambient techno, and the kind of hazy soundscapes beloved of dub techno producers - but there's never been any denying the quality of his work. Animist, his third extended release for Delsin, is another immersive, head-soothing excursion. Reportedly based on re-makes of tracks originally developed for live performances, its' multitude of highlights include the deep broken techno of 'Zukunftsrasse', the angular and abrasive early morning minimalism of 'Terraformink', the warming textures, hypnotic grooves and opiate electronics of 'Kuru', and the smacked-out horror-IDM crackle of 'Errorist'.
