As Sure As Night Follows Day

As Sure As Night Follows Day is Russell Haswell's landmark second album for London's Diagonal Records. Consolidating a quarter-century at the coal face of extreme computer music, techno and death metal in 17 tracks and 49 minutes, it's Haswell's most coherent yet varied burst of activity to date - zigzagging from improvised n0!se outbursts and asphyxiated R&B to a brace of thundering acid bullets that positively froth for the 'floor.

This is Diagonal and Russell at their most f**ked up and fizzy, and an important reminder of the artist's stream-of- consciousness genius - and the pressing need for more chaos and unpredictability in electronic music today.
