D-Node 227: Solenoid | Graphene

Paired with Solenoid's Colony release on young label Graphene is a spaced-out characterization of Solenoid as "the narrator/observor of a planet controlled and afflicted" in "a future prophecy world, where the stark realization of armageddon is foretold."

Sonic Groove is a piece of NYC music history waiting for its own annoying congratulatory documentary, one of those music movies that overstates the significance of something journalists thought couldn't be overstated.
