Such a massive amount of depth in this. When you consider it’s just one track that’s insane. Very well done, mate.

Love the sounds of the waves. Adds a nice detail.

Excellent work John. Just back from Jura and this track would have fitted perfectly with the landscape there!

So much space to get lost in within this track. It pays huge dividends when you reach the crescendo.

Bricolage head @fragilex, returns for his first standalone release on the label since 2019's "The Butterfly Effect".

"The Great Brain Robbery" sees a continuation of his exploration of all things cerebrum based. Both in humans and machines.

The narrative that runs throughout is one of "What If?"

What if we could download our consciousness? What if we could upload them into machines? What if those were hacked into? What if they were modified?

The music itself is a series of complex and futuristic soundscapes welded onto sturdy broken beats and accelerated percussive transmissions. Electronic grey matter illuminated with flashing neurons and intricate, mutated circuitry, communicating with viral chain reactions. There's elements of ambient, IDM, techno and drum n bass scattered throughout this propulsive and dynamic journey.

Will the machines take over? Can we stop them?
