AOUGHT, the drum & bass alter-ego of psytrance producer Kri Samadhi, here presents his collection of scenes of cyberpunk dystopia. “Soulphane” is a lurking, mournful mass of sludgy bass, mournful atmospheres, and shifting rhythms. “Break the frame” picks up with sinister minimal beats and a snarling bassline that support ice-cold pads. The title track, “Crumbs” introduces cinematic vocal and string ambience and a low end that marches endlessly forward, whereas “Saiko” detours into glitched-out paranoia and distorted 808 bass. “Files” evokes the deadly hacker drama of 1990s cyberpunk fiction, with clashing beats and spacy old-school leads. “The Great Dying” may be the album’s darkest track, with bleak droning atmospheres, lo-fi drums, and an absolutely hostile bassline. “Bad Boy” is a tribute to darkside jungle, produced on a vintage Akai S3000XL sampler to produce authentically mashed-up Amen breaks and classic pads. Finally, the album closes with Herbivore’s blistering remix of “Soulphane,” which transports the original into a murky underwater dancehall.

Samadhi is said to be a fourth kind of consciousness:
 
  It is beyond the states of waking, dreaming and dreamless sleep. Those who have witnessed it as an external phenomenon report that the experience appeared to have fallen into a kind of trance. The hair on the head and body stood erect. The half-closed eyes became fixed. Sometimes there was an astonishing loss of weight, or even levitation of the body from the ground. But these are mere symptoms, and tell us nothing. There is only one way to find out what samadhi is like:
 
                                                                                                  You must have it yourself…
