The dark arts of Miles Whittaker (aka MLZ, and part of the Demdike Stare, Pendle Coven and several other covert projects) have been casting their spell over listeners for the better half of this decade. His peerless record collection and associated vinyl addiction have largely informed his ouevre, roving from the blackest doom metal to glacial nordic electronics, layered drones, shuffled House, Berlin dub and Detroit techniques. His uber-dark new project Daughter Of The Industrial Revolution is the place where he can indulge those passions in solo mode over three 3" CDs for the bespoke Cotton Goods label. We've only got a slight clue what the title alludes to, but we can tell you that 'Legislation For The Nation' opens the set with a hazy piece of ambience recalling the overloaded-but-subdued ferric tones of Kevin Drumm, while 'Transistor Blues' sounds like the residue of an analogue MLZ session, where the machines have been left to their own devices, creating spectral impressions of Berlin dub. 'Shape 4' follows with a grey slate-and-sandstone toned slab of doomy atmospherics, while the acid reflux of 'Photon Shopping' coats the ears in an abstracted 303 residue. The lengthy 'Nutrient Flush' is the album's centrepiece, paying tribute to the isolationist bleeps of Mika Vainio with potent tones patiently given time to seep through the system to achieve the required results. As usual the amazingly packaged discs are housed in bespoke handmade sleeves inside customised microfilm boxes that have been individually numbered. Totally amazing music - blink and you'll miss out forever.
