Various Artists - Pacification

Latvia's Blind Allies continues its series of crucial various artist trips into the underbelly of ravey electro, with another cast of underground operators on the buttons. RNBWS brings a hefty dose of old-skool bleep magic to ''Engage'', before stripping things back for the cool and deadly ''Backtrack''. Caprithy's ''Smoky Sunday'' has a seductively sinister side to it, while CYBEREIGN's ''Accelerate'' keeps things tuff and taut. RNBWS returns on the tripped out ''Little Things Important'', and Universo completes the set with the vintage tape-warped tones of ''Mercury Retrograde''.
