Review
In the genre industrial trance, Telekinetic by Sect is one of the few albums
which fulfill this label to satisfaction. Imagine becoming one with the dataflow in
cyberspace, this is Sect. A hallucinatory world opens up in front of your eyes reminding
you of Case's adventures in William Gibson's Neuromancer.
The first track Telepresence fades in. Filter-modulated layers of analogue sounds build up. You can feel this flow. Very dark. Two minutes and a four to the floor beat sets in.
Trancy but dark at the same time, a principle continuing through the whole album.
Andromeda Storm starts with a very industrial beat that morphs into a techno beat. Again several layers of analogue synths, morphed and modulated, build up. A very hard snare follows. Again you start to realize what industrial trance can be.
Phoenix - a techno chord starts off rhythmically. The beat including bass and sequencer follows, very trancy track with more than just a four to the floor beat. Again these typical EBM melodies in high speed, tweaked and strictly sequenced.
Dream Circuit starts off with whistling sounds. Immediately a hypnotic sequence sets in with a very industrial beat that is morphed into a TR808 techno beat. The sequence is morphed and filter modulated. Speech samples command you into this machine generated trance.
Immortal with a fast-paced techno beat, those melody fragments best known from A Split Second with a speech sample "I died so many times so many times I revived" are invading your mind.
If one of the tracks on Telekinetic should have become a single, it would have been Neuronautics, "A new track to expand conciousness": This flow of electricity, this hyperstream of data. An up-tempo dance track. Very trancy, very hypnotic and - industrial.
After that, a relatively slow track, Flux, follows. A choir pad above morphed sequences, industrial noises and this typewriter snare, which is so typical for this CD.
M K Ultra, named after the former American mind control program, lets you imagine the dataflow in the circuitry of a cyborg on speed. Actually this could be an Astral Projection track, very psy-trance.
Retrofit again is a bit slower, reminding me of Clock DVA.
The CD ends with Missing in Orbit. A techno bass line together with appregiated sequences. Again those typewriter fills. The dark sequences fade out and this masterpiece of music is finished.
