These are the first fruits of musical excellence from Japanese producer Stereociti in 2010, and it's been worth the wait. Once again surfacing on the Mojuba imprint, this release launches gently into outer space with the title track "Cosmoride". A main riff of heavily compressed keys is the melodic centre around which Stereociti builds a wall of layered percussion propelled by heavy kicks, with the ever rising synth washes providing the atmospheric intent. The placid reverberant deepness of "Tsukayga" offers a more downbeat moment, thanks to pensive rhythmic swirls that siphon out over crisp 808 beats.
