RA349 is a powerful and haunting album by Samuel Kerridge that showcases the artist's unique blend of industrial, techno, and experimental music. The album is full of dark, brooding atmospheres that transport the listener to a dystopian future where technology and humanity have merged into a single, twisted entity.
Kerridge's use of distorted and abrasive sounds creates an unsettling and immersive listening experience that is both challenging and rewarding. The album's tracks are dense and complex, with layers of percussion, synths, and samples that build and evolve over time.
Despite the album's bleak and oppressive tone, there are moments of beauty and transcendence, such as the ethereal vocals on "Possession/Control" or the shimmering synths on "Membrana." These moments provide a welcome respite from the album's more abrasive moments and add depth and complexity to the overall sound.
