Very good second review of 'Comatose Working Institution' by Gothtronic:

Starting with a dark and spacious swelling drone Dead. Circuit takes you into the fields of dark cinematic industrial music. Dead. Circuit is a project by a Dutch guy named Fabian, also writing reviews for this E-zine. Although I have met some people over the years writing for Gothtronic I have never met this fellow so I can write without prejudice and make an objective review about this second release Comatose Working Institution.

However the packaging looks very amateurish the music- And that is what is it is all about- sounds very professional and could easily been released on Cold Spring for example. “Phase 1: Morbid dreams” starts calm with a hypnotic stretched tone but grows to dense oppressive atmospheres with a disturbing cold pulse and later on thick layers of distortion. The sound now is massive towards power electronics. “Phase 2: Death of a salesman” is towards death industrial like Megeptera with harsh slow pounding punishing beats. Various disturbing sounds and spoken word samples are making this into a claustrophobic experience and sounds very tasteful. Last track “Phase 3: ComAwake” has a melodic synth loop that may come from the Exorcist. Together with a reverberating pulse this loop is building great tense. Towards the end this track becomes more rhythmic while the volume grows louder.

Comatose Working Institution is not very original but that seems no problem to me because Dead. Circuit sounds very well with interesting sound structures of rhythmic distortion, melody and dark atmospheres. 7.5/10 - Remco
