this release was conceptually and musically developed in tandem by
the_empath from germany and the russian one man project arx kaeli as a
direct result of the disaster at fukushima which is so far the biggest
nuclear catastrophe since chernobyl. the intention of both artists for
'meltdown' was to make a thought-provoking statement about how these
disasters drastically show the dimension of damage caused by the factors
of coincidence and natural phenomena. 'meltdown' perfectly exhibits
the technical skills possessed by both musicians - convincing, dark idm
with pin-perfect accentuations, impressive melodic lines and
subliminally inserted vocal samples saturates the album with feelings of
suspense and tension which demand intense listening. released in
2011 and presented on 12" vinyl in a heavy, unique packaging, this album
was limited to 111 copies and sold out rapidly. two years later,
'meltdown' is available again in digital format as an updated version
completed with six recently recorded remixes. listen deeply, think about
it, do not miss.
