Format: Vinyl + Digital (Bandcamp)

A1. A Secant Line
A2. The Slope
B1. Apply the Definition
B2. Limit Value

Description
Midgar welcomes the Bordeaux based Von Grall delivering four dense, immersive cuts. First of the list, *A Secant Line*, is an acidic and powerful mantra, opening the gates of sonic virtuality. In the second track, *The Slope*, fast paced rhythmics and cold ambiances bring some severity to the record. On the bside, the melodic and slightly dreamy excursion *Apply the Definition*, while *Limit Value* close the record with a solemn concoction of offbeats drums and mechanic nightbirds.
