The Resonance Association return with the follow-up to their critically acclaimed debut "Failure Of The Grand Design" (BSHED0703).

This dynamic selection of songs sees the band build on their strengths with a mixture of electronic beats, soaring guitar solos and motorik riffing.

textures offering an engaging journey across the borders into
minimalist, drone, static and circuit breaking electronics.
