Techno Animal, the partnership of producer Kevin Martin and Godflesh guitarist Justin Broadrick, evolved considerably over their roughly 10-year existence. This, their second full-length, was a magnum opus of mind-warping psychedelic trance music, layers of shimmering and squelching electronic harmonies (and, on two tracks, guest trumpet from Jon Hassell) creating a kind of radioactive cloud floating over beats that tick with the implacability of a countdown clock. Two fully loaded CDs add up to nearly two and a half hours of astral traveling, and while the first may be a little more energetic and the second a little more drifty, it’s sort of like climbing slowly into the sky, then floating gently back down.

Justin Broadrick and Kevin Martin between them have ludicrous catalogues spanning multiple decades, but this is a standout for both. Landing in 1995 it appeared as a kind of evil sibling to the cosmic fractal dub that the likes of Future Sound of London and Spacetime Continuum were wowing chill out rooms with. Re-Entry is heavily rooted in the industrial metal music that Broadrick and Martin had cut their teeth on, but with chasmic sub bass, wide open dub space, and a fourth world sense of the alien exotic - the latter certified by Jon Hassell appearing on trumpet on two tracks. At almost 150 minutes, it’s a proper trip of a record, and escapes the of-its-times signifiers to be a really significant, lasting statement in electronic soundscaping.
