    [Miles Whittaker and Andy Stott] summon Northern Industrial music's ancient frequencies to produce a dense hypogeal noise. [Jul 2014, p.96]

    This album is a good example of how to revive twenty-year-old sample relics and construct new, wildly dilapidated material from them like they were so much reclaimed timber.

    From its massively hedonistic club tunes to its handful of cavernous dancefloor abstractions, Drop the Vowels is an unsurprisingly quality affair.

    While Drop the Vowels doesn't carry the game-changing nature of that album, the relative sonic variety it provides compared to Luxury Problems' expressively singular mindset makes for a solid introduction to one of contemporary techno's most consistently exciting collectives.

    A solid diversion from two artists who we know can do better.
