"Robin Rimbaud - mobile phone conversation pirate, and Michael Wells - Long standing hardcore meister. Both of which have only noticeably impacted on the fringes of the dance/electronic genre. Never before have the two shone so brightly. They have obviously fed off each other in scanner vs. signs ov chaos - using the best elements of each others styles. Michael's productions sound like the very best of scanner, and Robin's the very best of signs ov chaos. The two michael jackson's are worlds apart yet of the same substance and Robin's mix makes me feel all "worm" inside. mothlight is one of the loveliest dark ambient piece I have heard in an eon, and the simple, yet tasteful breakbeats in kink had me playing the track over and over and over while I worked. An awesome album, even if you didn't enjoy previous releases by these two artistes. Hopefully soon we will hear "the revenge of scanner vs. signs ov chaos""
